Dave was right, line 2 had a return in it. line 5 did not.

I discovered this 20 minutes after I went to bed, got up and lo and behold
it now works.

Another difference between HC and RM.

Many thanks.

Friends, I have recently upgraded from HyperCard to Revolution Media.

I am recreating some hypercard stacks.

I am having a problem with "find"

The handler below:

   on mouseUp
1     select the clickline
2     put the selectedtext into wordToFind
3     find string wordToFind in field "TestFld2"
4     put wordToFind & the result
5     find string "Cafe (das)" in field "TestFld2"
  end mouseUp

line 5 works as expected.
line 3 returns "Not Found"

Why?
