Excellent. Thank you, and thanks to Mike as well. I’ll implement that in my code.

If I’m working in LC 7.0+ the stack is saving with the new file format, and therefore won’t open in pre-7.0 versions of LiveCode. I though once a stack was saved in a legacy format, it would stay in that format. Is that not the case? Is there any way to prevent the file format change when saving a stack?
