Len,
globals must be declared to be used.
You need to declare that global in both the script that sets the
hilite and also the script that has that if clause. In situations
like this, the debugger is your friend and it's good to use it to
explore variable values.
just go to the top line in the object script that contains those two
pieces of code and add
global gSaveInputPath
if this is not the case, then you're probably failing to set the
global in the first place, assure yourself with an answer call or the
debugger that the global is actually a global and that its value is
correct.

In my now 3 year long quest to write just ONE useable Rev program,
I was close but ran into something that I just can't figure out. I
have a checkbutton on a configuration stack (separate from the main
stack) and a global variable that I set the hilite of the button to
(mostly so I don't need long convoluted descriptions to get to the
state from the main stack).
When it comes time to check the button state, I "put" the global
variable and it says it's true. The very next line is:
if gSaveInputPath then
-- save the path to the file just used for next time
end if
This FAILS every time (I added an else clause to display "not
saving path" just to make sure I was actually getting to the
code). I also tried
if gSaveInputPath is true then.... and that fails too. If I
check my global variables, it is in fact showing "true" so I can't
figure out what's (not) going on.

PS: Thanks to Jim Ault for you response on the field question. You
were right that I'm not using groups on various cards/stacks to
display the same information in different places. I'll give your
suggestions a shot as soon as I get this (hopefully simpler)
problem resolved.
