I have the following lines of code:
(and I've tried this without the "invisible" modifier, too)

This returns the error:

execution error at line 20 (Chunk: can't find stack), char 4

which points to the "put fld" line in the above code.

If I open the stack "Web Preferences" (by using the "Open Stack…" menu command, for example), then the script works fine.

How can I gain access to the stack from another stack's script, without having to open it first?

David,

Web Preferences"

it looks like you omitted the ".rev" part
try regards

Yes, I did. I honestly didn't think that was necessary. I must stop making assumptions!

Thank you.

You don't even need to "go to stack xyz", invisible or not:
...
put fld "Content" of cd "search" of stack "/Users/davidneale/Documents/Revolution/Web Preferences.rev" into searchInit
...
will do

Thanks Klaus.

In this case, however, I have many other items I wish to get from the second stack, so there's a whole series of puts, so it's easier to do a single go. (Unless there's yet another way that I don't know of, of course.)
