Try using this"
edit the script of a button "frontscript" to be

on opencard
  answer "got open in front"
end opencard

Now open the Message Watcher window,
click Supress, then uncheck "not Used",
click OK

Now type into the message box
"insert the script of button "frontscript" into front

your testing should show some of the invisible activity that using message
paths in the development environment will create.  Look carefully at the
script of the Message Stack to see how 'open' messages are handled by user
scripts and engine events.

You should see that a number of stacks are used in Revolution in order to
build the user interface that allows the programmer to build solutions
without learning even more code.

Even switching views/functions on the message box window will fire an
opencard, because that is what is happening in the message box stack.

This may give you the answer to your situation.

Other ideas to explore are:
1 -- if "message box" is among the openstacks then

2 -- use a back script to trap opencard, send your in-use stack a
"gotOpenCard" message, then pass opencard

3  -- modify the Message Box script to send the 'gotOpenCard' to you

Hope this helps,
