Rev 3.0 Cloning problem

Dear Mark,

Thanks for the guidance. Both your version and mine just stopped at the line


clone stack "resource_template"

That line is executed (and the resource_template stack is cloned), but the
next line is not.

I just tried inserting "Lock messages" before the "clone stack" command and
now it is ok. It struck me that there may have been another window message
handler being triggered that was interrupting the process.

Hmmmmm. 

Regards

John

Hi John,

The correct procedure is:

clone stack "resouce_template"
put it into myTempStackID
-- do other stuff here
set the name of myTempStackID to myStackName

You don't need the keyword "stack" before the variable containing the  
long ID of the new stack.
