Hi. I've got a wierd one. I have a card with two card fields "text" and "test" I also have a button with script on mouseUp get ( card field "text" ) put " " into card field "text" put it into card field "test" put it into card field "text" end mouseUp Here's is the wierd part, card field "text" has been restored to its normal state. But card field test is still empty. This has happened to me several times while creating stacks, I'm using HC 1.2.5 and multifinder 6.0.4 Does anyone know what gives?

Hi again I finally got my script to work by creating a new card and just tranferring the scripts. I still don't know why HC would not let me use one of my fields.

Well, that's what counts. One thought occurred to me as to why you were having problems before. Is it possible that you had _two_ fields named "Test" on your original card: one a background field and one a card field, right on top of each other? It's easy to do that accidentally. In that case, your script would have filled in the background field, but you would have been looking at the unchanged card field in front. --Mark

It faster and more reliable. I think you might type a wrong name or the field "test" is a background field. Why do you need () for card field "text"? get cd fld id xx should be good enough -From one of the Insanes.
