Actually, why not just go to the right card in the stack and execute the function ? I made a simple test stack with a single bakcground field "Memo" and the following cgi-scripts to test : 1. newmemo.mt -- #!revolution on startUp open stack "smemo.rev" go last card create card put "I made this with the cgi-engine," && \ the internet date && "!" into field "memo" save stack "smemo.rev" close stack "smemo.rev" put "Added 1 card" into tBuffer put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr put "Content-Length:" && length(tBuffer) & cr & cr put tBuffer end startUp -- 2. showmemo.mt -- #!revolution on startUp put $QUERY_STRING into tQuery split tQuery using "&" and "=" put tQuery["number"] into tCardNumber open stack "smemo.rev" go card tCardNumber put "Content of 'memo' field:" & return & \ field "memo" into tBuffer close stack "smemo" put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr put "Content-Length:" && length(tBuffer) & cr & cr put tBuffer end startUp -- I triggered newmemo a couple of times, checked the content with Revolution to make sure there was data in the stack. Then I wanted to see if the cgi-engine could get the content of the field from card 3 with: http://localhost/cgi-bin/showmemo.mt?number=3 And I got the correct result. [And before any of the security experts say anything, this is running on a separate box on my local network so security is not an issue for these tests] Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
