Background Group Question

[David Burgun]

Hi,

I have a stack with two cards. There are 4 Common Background Groups 
and one Group that is unique in each card. At startup I build a 
look-up table (array) which uses the long name of each control as a 
key. Once the stack is running the code looks up values for certain 
fields and menu's using the long name of the current control to 
access the table/array.

I use the following to build the table at startup:

repeat with myCardIndex = 1 to the number of cards in stack myStackLongName
   repeat with myControl index = 1 to the number of controls in card 
myCardIndex of stack  myStackLongName
   put the long name of control myControlIndex into myControlLongName
   put GetControlData(myControlLongName) into myControlData
   put myControlData into myControlArray[myControlLongName]
   end repeat
end repeat

The problem with this is that for background I only get one entry 
returned (the entry of the 1st card in the stack), so that the 
following doesn't work when run from a card other than the 1st card:

put LookUpControl(the long name of me) into myControlData

How can I add the entries for background object on cards other than 
the 1st card?

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
