I prefer to use "the target" and would suggest something like this:

on returnInfield
    if the long id of the target = field id 1045 of card id 1002 of
stack "BLEdit" of stack "clients" then
        pass returninfield
    else
        returnkey
    end if
end returnInfield

(watch for line wrap on the 2nd line).
