This doesn't work because LINE 3 gets executed right after LINE 2, not after the dialog is closed (i.e. Revolution doesn't wait for the modal dialog to be closed before it executes LINE 3).
In stack A you'll need two functions, one that setups and then calls the modal dialog, and the other (I call it a return handler) that is called when the modal dialog is closed:
global gFoo, gMyDialogHandler
on functionA put "Before" into global gFoo put "MyReturnFunction" into gMyDialogHandler push card go to stack B as modal end functionA
on MyReturnFunction put gFoo into field "Information" end MyReturnFunction
In stack B, when the modal dialog is closed, do this:
global gFoo, gMyDialogHandler
put myData into gFoo
destroy stack this stack
pop card
-- you're back at stack A at this point, so call your return handler send gMyDialogHandler to this stack
Hope this helps.

Just to get the obvious out of the way....you *did* define gFoo as a global in Stack B...correct?

I have a handler in stack A of the pseudo form below ... LINE 1 <put "Before" into global gFoo> LINE 2 <go to stack B as modal; user input there goes into gFoo> LINE 3 <put gFoo into fld "Information" of stack A> ...
The text that is put into the field on stack A is inevitably "Before". However, if I immediately type
put gFoo into fld "Information"
the data that was collected in stack B is put into the field in stack A as
expected. The global is populated as I would want, except it is as if line
3 above is run before line 2. What is going on? Can I not switch between
stacks and collect data? Is there a workaround?
