Solved the problem before posting but will post it anyway in case anyone else encounters it.

I've got an old hypercard stack that I can't get into. Rev quits immediately when I try to open the stack. I also tried creating a different stack, and then "edit the script of stack xyz" to see if there were something I could override causing it to quit but that quits too.

Any suggestions?

I've tried with both Rev and Metacard from version 4.0 back to version 2.9 but no go.

Okay wow, dug around to see if I had an earlier version and was able to access it with version 2.4.3 Metacard prior to the Rev change.

I guess I better convert all of my old stacks while 2.4.3 still works! I was in a total panic over this particular stack. Man, am I glad I keep old versions of things!

Oddly, v.2.7 MC and v.2.8.1 MC and REV lost their registrations. I'm sure I've got the codes still to re-register them but I didn't get that far so I don't know if those versions would have opened the stack.

Thank god for 2.4.3!  It really saved the day!
