Hi.
I am missing something, because: on openField put the clipBoardData into me end openField works fine.

I copy text from one of the fields in the substack and verify that it is in clipboardData["text"] which it is. I would like to then be able to click on an unlocked text field in the mainstack and have it immediately paste the text into that field. I have an "openField" handler in each of the 6 unlocked fields of the mainstack. My thinking was the "openField" handler for each field in the mainstack would be run since I clicked on that field but apparently the message path is not what I'm thinking it should be when going straight from a substack and clicking on an object in the mainstack. Whats happening: If I were to click on field 3 in the mainstack with text in the clipboard from the substack, field 1 would be the field the text gets pasted into. So it appears that the first object I click on after going from a substack to the mainstack is not getting the message. The pasting process works fine if I paste text from fields in the same stack. Still trying to figure out what messages are firing off when clicking on an object in the mainstack after leaving a substack. Can somebody point me in the right direction and/or offer some advice?
