You could put something like this in the stack script:

on openstack
hide me
end openStack

Of course, you can also hide fields in the stack, or set their loc beyond the card boundary etc.  Or, on openstack, you can
have the contents of the fields loaded into a variable(s) and then put "" into the fields, restoring the fields on closestack.
 When someone opens the stack, it looks like a bunch of blank fields.  There are many, many ways to hide contents.

good luck,
