he meant you can't go to the same stack that you're currently showing, making it show paralell in a second window. it's one stack per window. however, you can easily make a second stack, and then use that as your edit mask, no?

BvG,
How would I send the variable CurrentID from the one stack where my datagrid is to a new stack for the "Edit Window"?
??

Nevermind I think I got it. TO simple I just created a sub stack and then call the global variable into a field like this.
I actually changed to theDataA as the variable which is the array of columns for from the row selected in the datagrid.
Then it simply preloads the Name of the product into a field productName.
Code: Select all
on preOpenStack
global theDataA
answer theDataA["ID"]
put theDataA["Name"] into the field "productName"
end preOpenStack
I assume this is the correct method.

Hi Jesse,
yes, this is the correct way to go!
A "global" variable is "visible" in ALL cards of all stacks and substacks
that you open in your current LiveCode session!
Best
