Introduction and a question

[Edwin Gore]

Just wanted to do a quick introduction. 

New to using Revolution, but I was a old Hypercard/SuperCard/Toolbook hand several years ago.

Found out about Revolution through Richard Gaskin's FourthWorld site, and was intrigued enough to download the free version, and then buy the Student fo my daughter who is learning to program with it.

Quick question...

Am I correct in thinking that having a list field on a card messes up open and close field messages for other fields on the card? We are trying to do something where the navigation is a scrolling list in a group on the left of the card and clicking takes you to a specific card. Once there, you can edit one of several fields on that card, and there is some validation doen through onpen and close field scripts.

The problem is that once you have clicked on the listField the other fields on the card no longer seem to get open and close field messages when you click on them and the insertion point never appears in them. YOu can still click in the field and type, but an openfield never gets sent and the insertion point never appears.

Weird.
