Hi,
I am having creating by a script a new card.
I am trying to creat a new card in a button script.
The button name is "Add" FYI.

The line I am having trouble with is:
create card tNewCardName in stack "Product Data"

The tNewCardName is the name of the new card to be added to stack "Product Data"

This button, "Add" is on/in a different stack.

The Error I am getting is:
button "Add": execution error at line 17 (Chunk: can't find stack), char 1

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

There is nothing wrong with your handler. Even so, I made two simple test stacks with the pertinent gadgets to execute the single line of code you posted.
But I see you have more going on in your handler, so the problem lies in there somehow. Step through your code and you will find the culprit.

Craig,

Thanks for the reply.
I found the problem.
The name of the stack, when I checked under the property inspector ended with a 'space' 'Product Data '.
That gave the error.
Thank you for your help.

Ah.

"Invisible" spaces have messed up stuff for me forever. Hard to see, and oftentimes I have simply rewritten certain bits, all the whiie thinking that I never changed a thing, but the problem went away.
