Hi John,
instead of decimals use true hex (has 15 digits)
OR, very effective, dadaNumbers
(my youngest daughter named this)
you may use e.g. n=48 or n=65
function dec2dada dc,n
return numToByte(n+dc)
end dec2dada
function dada2dec hx,n
return byteToNum(hx)-n
end dada2dec

I've had gremlins like this in the past where certain functions run

Or put another way: what is inside parentheses is not always evaluated

From your answer I understand now what's the point.
You have a (shared) backgroundGroup that should go on some or all cards and you
wish to change some properties of the group or its members depending on the
card you wish to go to.
Right? For this situation I use the following.

Will this work?
1. Create an invisible button in your group named, say, Card Change.
2. On openControl, Set the script of the current card to add in the on
closeCard handler the statement:
send mouseUp to button Card Change of group myGroup
3. When the button received the mouseUp message on

I believe the original post stated that no openxxx or preopenxxx handlers
could be used.

Jacque stated; The group needs to be self-contained with no additional

But by putting a preOpenCard (or openCard) handler in the *Group's script*
does mean that the group is still self contained. I was curious, so I tried a

It seems that the shift-tab key combination doesn't tab backwards in a
field control as it does in other applications, although it does in a table
control.
Does anyone have any code to implement shift-tab they'd be willing to share?

Hi Pete,
Create a new stack. Add 4 fields. Type tab to move the text insertion
point to the next field, shift-tab to go to the previous field.
