I'm so sorry folks, I had to run an errand and came back to realize I misspoke!! I DO NOT have openCard and PreOpenCard scripts at the stack level.
Jacque, I am merely navigating between cards in my problem stack that gives me this grief Craig, I'm checking the Message Watcher, but so far I'm not seeing what's causing my problem. Sure enough the MessageWatcher confirms that OpenCard and PreOpenCard are not executing when revisiting the first card, but are when first opening the stack. Dar, I don't think there are any front scripts . . . certainly none of my own. Could there be others not of my doing?
