Debugging DataGrid script

[mfstuart]

I just tried populating the DataGrid from the Message Box while the current
card was card "Help".
Result: the DataGrid was populated.
But issuing the script from the Message Box while the card "Help" was not
focused (from a different card), returned an error message: no such object.

So I guess the question is: can you populate a DataGrid on a card while not
on that card? Doesn't seem to work for me.

Anybody got a work around for this?

Regards,
Mark Stuart
