Thanks to Mark and Eric. I went the resumeStack route and it worked the first time! I might give Eric's method a try too just so I can add it to my back of tricks!

Thanks!

Hi Len,

If your stack is open yet, openStack or openCard have been already sent and a simple navigation or changing stack's visible property *does not* open the stack or the card. Probably you could write an <update handler> in the script of your dialog and use:

send "UpdateFromDB" to stack "IMS Configuration"
go stack "IMS Configuration"

I feel so stupid today! I have a stack that I use like a dialog that brings up several configuration fields in my app. It is called from the menu button at the top of the app with:

go stack "IMS Configuration"

There is only one card on this stack. I have just added a couple of fields that I need to query the database and get two numbers to put in the fields when the config stack is displayed. I tried an "openStack" message (in both the stack and in the card scripts), I tried an "openCard" script. None of them are getting called.

I changed my "call" to go to card 1 of stack "IMS Configuration" and got the same result.

What handler to I need to put and where so that every time the stack is opened, it can get the most up-to-date info from the database (actually, made visible - it's always open, just hidden)?

I know this is Rev 101 kind of stuff but I'm a little stumped right now.

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
