I don't have enough to nail this down, and if I file a bug, it will just be closed. But have others seen something like this? I have something to the effect of revDatabaseQuery(,,a[b][c][d], theCommand) I eventually noted that "c" wasn't actually an index variable, but rather cNo or some such.

Yep, as a library stack, IIRC the script being run is owned by the object calling it. If however you send the request directly to the library stack (I think you can still do that) it may solve your issue. On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 1:10 PM, Graham Samuel wrote: > Thanks, I will try to see if I am

Thanks, I will try to see if I am inadvertently doing what you say. The actual deletion code is in a library which is being used by the stack to be deleted (since it’s invoked by a menu item in the stack), although the library itself is in another mainstack. Interesting - I suppose while in use,

Make sure if you are doing a send to delete the stack that you don't have it send to itself. An external (hidden?) mainstack would be the way to go, otherwise telling the stack to send the delete request to itself would be a circular type of thing. Can't delete the stack running the script, so se
