I can't see why your script should fail, unless there is a typo in the
name - perhaps an extra space or some invisible character.
But try this:

on mouseUp
   go invisible stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers"
   wait 3 seconds with messages
   show stack "VoluntTracker Volunteers"
end mouseUp


The "wait with messages" allows other things to happen e.g. moving or
resizing windows, so it doesn't seem like your app has frozen.

HTH,
