Inconsistent variable behavior... help?

[Sarah]

What happens if you surround the card name with quotes?
put field "wordsAvailable" into fld gMyName of grp 
"WordsAvailableGroup" of \
cd quote & gMySound & quote of stack "defaults"

Maybe you are using bay as a variable name as well as a card name so it 
is looking for the wrong card.
