Weird OS9 runtime problem->losing database connection

What's going on, what am I missing here?
I've created a database frontend which needs to run on Windows, 2000
WIndows XP, Mac OS9 and Mac OS-X.
All run perfect except the Mac OS9 version...
I have a splash screen with some minor scripts in the preopenstack
and startup handlers. In the on opencard script I load some
parameters and call a script in another stack. (All basic SQL-
generating scripts are located in that stack, all in buttons, so it's
very easy to manage and edit them. I use properties in the stack to
pass parameters around and maintain parameters per session.)
The script I need to run is in the mouseup handler of button
"connectToDB".
I use the "revOpenDatabase" command with all parameters and the
result is a number, the connection ID.
When there is no error in connecting to the mySQL database, I
continue to the "Login" substack so a user can enter its username and
password.
Hitting the enter button should then set a property of the stack
with the name & password and send a mousup to a second button, which
checks if the user may or may not login.
The first part (getting the connection ID works fine on OS9, but when
I'm in the second script, the "revOpenDatabases()" return empty and I
get the error "revdberr, invalid connection id", so nothing works :-((
When running it inside revolution on OS9 it's OK, so are all other
runtimes, just the OS9 runtime doesn't work.
Anybody any suggestions?
