Hi David,

Is there actually a field <temp2> on the card where
the result is found ? Once you toplevel the other
stack, you'll be in that other stack, and simple
control references are considered relative to tha
stock, not the new stack.
So a possible solution is the use o the long ID :
--
  put the drawnumber of this card into temp2
  put the long ID of fld temp2 into tFieldLongID
  toplevel stack "draw lists"
  find temp1
  put empty into fld tFieldLongID
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
