Bob, yeah that will work and let you set your individual stacks to work as subs of the splash, but it pretty much boils down to what you want to accomplish. A splash, and separate stacks that you can save individually? If this is the goal, then you can choose the option to save substacks to separate stack files on build (as someone else mentioned) but you'll have to be careful in how you reference them in your scripts, because they will no longer be substacks of the splashstack after build. They'll each be mainstacks in their own right.
I think the bonus to doing it the way you're stating is that the automatic inclusions should (I think) just work, including the datagrid. The question here is whether breaking out the stacks and rearranging them will break your already set up datagrids due to moving the datagrid substack from the old mainstack to the new splashstack. And then the NEXT question (I've never tried it) is whether the datagrid will still work even with the proper inclusions having been found. If you just want to shove all the stacks together into one monolithic build, with no external stack files, you might need to tweak some of your scripts depending on how you currently reference stacks and controls, but it shouldn't be too difficult. My question again being.. How will this affect an existing datagrid when the stack structure is revamped? Datagrids seem eminently breakable. If you want a splashstack that loads your current stack and its substacks, it isn't difficult to get things working usually. No structure changes, the hard part is making sure all the correct stuff is included, and the datagrid stub trick works well. Mind if I ask what platform you're building for? Somewhere along the line there was a version of LC that donked things when building, but i'm having trouble remembering which version, and for what platform. If you're having trouble getting things to work after build, maybe knowing the target platform will help me find the information again.
