Hi Richard,
My intuition told me as much, and I've been surprised at how easily I'm able to
change the data in a Standalone by using an external text file and then
changing the text file along the way. My dilemma, now, is that this sub-stack
is already part of the standalone, so splitting it

communicating between that sub-stack and the main stack in

Maybe not
Hi Richard,
I'll save this approach as a plan B; for now, I think, I'll just create a
brand new, expandable Main Stack that I can use when the user needs to create
new forms. I think I can probably do this by just creating a dummy empty stack
and, then, when I need additional copies of a Form,

Hi Joe.
Not so tough. Make a brand new stack which will be your splash stack. Have that
stack open the real stack and then close itself. Add your real stack along
with it's substack as an included file in your standalone settings. Mince
finely, stir in with a cup of lemon juice and compile.
Thanks Robert.
Just haven't had the time this AM to tackle this as yet.

Whoops! I didn't mean the splash stack should close itself I meant hide
itself. Closing the real stack will have to have a Quit command at the end
of anything else you do. Otherwise I think the splash screen will pop up again
if you close the real stack. The more knowledgable among us may
Hi Joe:
If I understand what you're asking, the answer is yes, but the cloned card
won't be saved unless your stack exists in a file that's separate from the
standalone (standalones can't modify themselves).
You'll either need to use the splash screen launcher strategy which involves
building a
