Hi Richard, Thanks for trying to help. I'm using LiveCode to operate my business. The stacks I've created are exclusively for my use. As such, I don't have access to anything other than the MacOS. The corrupted stack I'm talking about appears fine. I can open any card in it and do whatever I want within the stack. The problem arises when I use a script in another stack to alter the contents of fields in this stack.
I don't know if it's a specific field that's the problem or the stack itself. I can alter all the fields in the bad stack as long as I do it with a script in the damaged stack. My question is, since I can open the damaged stack, is it safe to cut from it and paste it into a new replacement stack? Would I be better off to abandon the damaged stack and start completely fresh. Of course that's assuming there's no way to examine and fix the malfunctioning stack. I hope it can somehow be fixed, that will save me a boatload of time.

If you have multiple cards, can you lock messages and open card 2 of that stack? Can you at least open it without editing the contents of that field? Have you tried opening it in LC on other OSes? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
