I create by cloning from a "master" card a new card. During the cloning I capture the new card's abbreviated ID and change its card name to "EmptyCard".
The new card's abbr ID is put into global gNewCardID
Then, at the end of this handler:
wait 30 milliseconds -- put in to allow Rev to catch up with functions if exists(gNewCardID) then go to gNewCardID put emtpy into gNewCardID end if
Rev can't find this new card. I have captured the global gNewCardID into "msg" and it updates and shows the newly created card abb ID.
I have tried this handler with the card name as well with the same results.
When this function doesn't work it is usually within the IDE even with the Development Tools suspended.
The question is, I guess, has anyone found peculiarities or idiosyncracies with Rev's "exists" function and how did you get around them or trap the errors for correction? I have looked to no avail in the archives.
I haven't found any problems but I tend to use: if there is a gNewCardID
Maybe that will work better.
