Re: Opening of a stack on a shared drive (how to lock out)

These are great suggestions, Axwald & Jacque, thank you. It occurs to me that I could simulate a server situation by using Dropbox or iCloud. I can even force-quit an instance to see what happens with an unexpected quit.

Of course, I can put the code also into a button to demonstrate, but I want my students to see the difference between doing something with...

Do or don't do

I seem to recall that at one time you could put a LiveCode script into a field's contents and then run that script with the "do" command: on mouseUp do fld 1 end mouseUp It would be one way of showing a script in a field and then using a button to show what that script can do....
