Hi wilhelmeros,

Why do you want this? If you are using a stack that is not part of a standalone, you can just save your stack with the information in the field.

Anyway, this is a way you could do this.

Code: Select all

on closeStack
  put fld x of cd y into url ("file:" & <path to your file>)
  pass closeStack
end closeStack

on preOpenStack
  put url ("file:" & <path to your file>) into fld x of cd y
  pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack
This is one of many possible ways. We might come up with something else, if you tell us why you need this.

Best,

Mark
