Yes, and I will reiterate that Hypercard was optimized to use cards as records in a database. Livecode is not. If your apps are of this nature, you will want to move the data in your cards to some other storage method, then have one card per "form" in your stack, loading the data as needed.

Hello all, In LC 6.7.11 it is possible to open a HC stack. This feature has broken in LC 7+. So you can try to: 1. Make a copy of your HC stack 2. Open it in LC 6.7.11 3. Then save it in LC 6.7.11. Hopefully, after step 3, you should be able to open it in LC 9. Best, Panos-- On Tue, Jan 15,
