Go card "xyz"

[Bob Sneidar]

When you go to another card, lots of things happen before and after the go. By way of example, Closecard gets sent to the curent card, but before that close field gets sent to any field that you are in that has been edited, etc. Before the card opens, it gets a preOpenCard. So don't think that by going to a card, that command gets executed first, then all the other stuff happens. That isn't how it works. 

The best way to tell what is going on is to turn on message watching, then set a breakpoint right at the first and then step through every line of code. Then you can review the message watcher and you can see all kinds of messages are flying around that you were unaware of.
