Don't you mean: put the dgdata of grp 1 of CARD 1 OF stack "path/to/dgstack.livecode" into tDataA
If you are going to be using full paths for this, I recommend using my fine functions getParentCard() and getParentStack(). function getParentCard pObjectID put offset("card id", pObjectID) into tStartChar put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tCardID return tCardID end getParentCard function getParentStack pObjectID put offset("stack ", pObjectID) into tStartChar put char tStartChar to -1 of pObjectID into tParentStack return tParentStack end getParentStack As you can see they are very basic. Pass a long id of the calling object and it returns the long card ID or the long name of the parent stack. Now you can do this: put getParentCard(the long id of me) into tThisCard put the dgData of grp 1 of tThisCard into tDataA Bob S > On Jan 11, 2018, at 09:28 , Mike Bonner via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Have you tried something like this?
