Is there a way to copy a substack from one main stack to another main stack? If there is a way I would much prefer that to building the whole thing over again,

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

not directly, but possible

Do something like this:
...
## Make a copy of the stack
## CLONE will automatically make a substack a mainstack and add "Copy of " to the name
## The substack does not need to be open!
clone stack "Name of substack" of stack "Mainstack"

## Set its mainstack
set the mainstack of stack "Copy of Name of substack" to "New mainstack"

## Now rename that stack if neccessary
set the name of stack "Copy of Name of substack" of "New mainstack" to "Name of substack"

## If neccessary:
close stack "Name of substack"
...
Tested and works

Thanks Klaus,

I'll give it a try.

Just tested and works!

Klaus,

Worked like a champ.

I did have to change:
set the name of stack "Copy of Name of substack" of "New mainstack" to "Name of substack"

to:
set the name of stack "Copy of Name of substack" of stack "New mainstack" to "Name of substack"

Thanks again for such a quick reply.

Ah, yes, sorry, "made in a hurry"
