Crossed threads? "A stack xx is already in Memory..."

Post by EricMC » Fri Nov 25, 2016 11:56 am

Hi. I keep getting the same message whenever I open or close my new stack.

Needless to say, the threat of data loss is worrying.

I have tried using delete stack and close stack and, when I use msg to "put the openstacks" or "put the stacks" the stack is not listed. But, when I open again, the message comes back.

Also, I note that the stack keeps changing its ID (The times I have checked, it has been 1968, then 1970, then 1974, etc.). Is this normal?

I would like to know how I can tell LiveCode to delete any additional copies of "Appointments" from memory once and for all so that, when I open this stack it is the only stack and there is no longer confusion.

Can anyone help me?

Hi EricMC,

Which version of LiveCode are you using? When you close the stack, is it still listed in the Project Browser? If yes, I suggest you right-click on the stack in the Project Browser and choose "Close and remove from memory"

Best,
Panos

Hi.

Have you set the "destroyStack" property? Do you want or need to?
