Re: copy field to stack of unknown name
PS I also tried this in the main stack global tStackName, tFileName and a button that had on mouseUp copy field TextField of stack Armbase Database Designer to card 1 of stack tFileName end mouseUp and didn't get any luck with this either cheers bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Is the global tFileName defined in the second stack where this handler lives? This is defined in the first stack Armbase Database Designer where there is a button new that clones a stack that the user can name. In the first stack there is a button and a field. the button has the above script. (removing the quotes from the tfielname make no difference, still an error) The target stack does not have the script. 2.

copy field to stack of unknown name
Hi All. I have a wee database designer app for my students Armbase Database Designer. I would like to copy a field from my master database to the new database. The new database is named by the student so I don't know the name. Therefor I cant use on mouseUp copy field TextField of stack Armbase Database Designer to card 1 of stack MyDatabase.abd end mouseUp I thought of putting the file name of the stack into a variable tStackName and using the command on mouseUp copy field TextField of stack Armbase Database Designer to card 1 of stack tStackName end mouseUp Any ideas?
