Find Command

[RG Teeter]

Friends, I have recently upgraded from HyperCard to Revolution Media.

I am recreating some hypercard stacks.

I am having a problem with "find"

The handler below:

    on mouseUp
1     select the clickline
2     put the selectedtext into wordToFind
3     find string wordToFind in field "TestFld2"
4     put wordToFind & the result
5     find string "Cafe (das)" in field "TestFld2"
   end mouseUp

line 5 works as expected.
line 3 returns "Not Found"

Why?
