I'll send a copy of the stack separately, but here are my thoughts: - Caveat that I only have an Amazon Fire available for testing - resizeStack does get called, before openCard on card Loader - no field "log" exists on card "Loader" which is probably why resizeStack was not working - I added

Also it may help to relate this back to our own language: what alignment should be used consistently for English text? Left? Are you sure? :) In fact it's also common enough to align center (title), right (date), etc. Left is only the default. Each par (and even tab stops) must be able to

It will take a bit to respond to the rest, but I am not surprised to see a resizeStack on open if the app was built at a size different than the screen size of the device. On an Amazon Fire the screen/stack delta is the header bar at the top of the screen.  What is strange to me is that the

No because the array form uses a substitution method for SQL statements like "custom = ':1'" the :1 being replaced by the contents of tArray [1] when the SQL statement is assembled. I don't think you can use ":lattitude" in the select statement, but that would be an SQL limitation not an LC
