I am getting an "unexpected error 54321" from a script. Here's the situation: In background B: Background B contains a field called "miscStuff". In background A: The background field "linkList" contains a list of card id's in background B: <short id of card in bkgnd B> <short id of card in bkgnd B> <short id of card in bkgnd B> . . . The background script contains the following handler: on deleteCard if bkgnd field "linkList" is not empty then put bkgnd field "linkList" into linkList put the short id of this card into cardId push card lock screen set lockMessages to true repeat with lineNum = 1 to the number of lines in linkList go to card id (line lineNum of linkList) -- sanity check: see if the card really exists if cardId <> the short id of this card then put empty into bkgnd field "miscStuff" doMenu "Delete Card" end if end repeat pop card set lockMessages to false unlock screen end if end deleteCard When I delete a card in background A, the deleteCard handler runs and finishes without an error. The next action that is taken (clicking, selecting a menu, etc...) provokes the mysterious "unexpected error 54321". Replacing 'doMenu "Delete Card"' with 'send "doMenu Delete Card" to HyperCard' causes the same error. Replacing the push/pop card with 'go to card id cardId' causes the same error. Removing the lockMessages has no effect. Is there anyone out there in netland who knows what is causing this "unexpected error". Hints, clues, or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated.

reference error on deleting cards (by card id) can you use a short name of the card to delete it instead of the id.. it seems to me that HC is tempermental when referring to things by its id number.. mike -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!53!MIKE.ATANASIO Internet: MIKE.ATANASIO@f53.n114.z1.fidonet.org

Please don't tell me I've stumped the net! I don't want to resort to disgusting kludges to get this puppy to work. Any hints or help would be MOST appreciated! BTW, there are no other deleteCard handlers in the stack. In fact, there are no other scripts in the stack. Andrew Warinner | "Semper ubi sub ubi" - J.
