I think I may have found a bug in Hypercard 1.2.1 either that or I don't understand something. in the most simplest terms, I created three fields, each with a different name. In these three fields, I enter the word "hello". I then enter the command: (from the message box) Find "hello" in field (field 3's name) and the program encloses the word "hello" in field 1. What am I doing wrong? (or am I?) Please send replys to: GORR@UWACDC.acs.washington.edu Thanx. :)

Hi - I am developing a database access stack on Hypercard and am
having a minor problem getting the right system message out of
Hypercard: I am trying to "dummy guard" the fields that the user can
enter data in. My problem is getting the system message - I am
looking for something just like exitField, but one that is send when a
field IS changed - not when it is left alone. closeField doesn't
check for everything, and it takes a while until the right event
occurred. I was thinking of checking tabKey and returnInField,
however, then both are sent (autotab has to be selected for this to
work) and I get a user bombarded with the same request 2 times or so!
Any advice - I looked through the 2.1 on-disk documentation and the
1.2.5 written and couldn't find anything like this. But being how
well made Hypercard was done, I found it hard to believe that there is
no way to do this! Thank you!
