Hi Timothy,
Obviously you are coming from HyperCard...
With Rev there are no "bg" fields (neither card fields) but only fields.
Check the topics section in the docs named "Groups and Backgrounds"
It might help you to understand how Rev handles "bgs"... which do
not exist with Rev ;-)
Sometimes that is true, but Tim's stacks are HyperCard ports and
they have the HCAddressing set to true. That means it acts like HC
and there are background fields and card fields, as well as bg
buttons and card buttons. All HC imports act this way unless you
change it.
Hi Jacque,
Wow! Now I know about turning on hyperCard addressing! Ya learn
something new every day. You're right of course. hyperCard addressing
is turned on.
One reason the "find" command may not be working is if the script is
refering to a bg group that isn't placed on the current card.
I thought of that. I tried adding an extra line --
go to card 1 of bg "<whatever>"
-- so I could be sure that the script would find field "patient
information" on the first try. That didn't help either.
Tim: the best thing to do is check "the result" after using the find
command and see what it says.
Good thought. I did think of that, too. I'm getting better at this <g>.
The result was empty in every case.
It's starting to sound more like a bug. Or maybe my copy of Rev is
corrupted. I don't know how often that happens.
Best regards,
Tim
The cause of the error should be in there. I've used "mark cards by
finding" a lot without any problem, so there is something else going
on.
