New user question

[Steve Jones]

on mouseUp
    go stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers"
    wait 3 seconds
    beep
    wait 3 seconds
    show stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers"
end mouseUp

I put the beep in to test to be sure it was running.

The error I get is:

button "New Volunteer": execution error at line 6 (Chunk: can't find  
stack), char 4


I've tried combinations of open, show, go, set invisible, and use the  
stack name and the stack ID.

Always the same error.
