jumping among Mainstack and substacks isn't easy

[Devin Asay]

Mark,

You don't need to include the quotes in your card name. The way you're doing it the name is literally:

 "Roberto Clemente"

So in effect you are asking LC to go to a card with the name that *includes* the quotes.

Just leave out the quote constants:

    put tFirstName & space & tSecondName into tUserName

Regards,

Devin
