ok i think i know what it was. the last thing i did was to add some code that changed the label of the btn to "Xout"&cr&"Wed,11,11,2015"
maybe its the cr in the label that did it

6.6.2 is very old. I would try a more recent build. The most recent Stable build in the v6 series is 6.7.7:

ive been working on this project on and off for a year. i tried to upgrade only to find out some of the code didnt work any more. Im not going to go through a couple thousand lines of code to try to find all of the things that are no longer supported and rebuild those parts. The "False" logo doesnt seem to do anything bad to it so im not going to worry too much.

LiveCode has been very conservative about deprecating or changing language elements. Compared to some other languages like Python's switch from v2 to v3, LiveCode has a better-than-average track record of maintaining backward compatibility.

That said, from time to time new features in the language may require changing behavior of some tokens. While rare, it has happened perhaps as much as a dozen times over as many years, and in each case there are good reasons for the change so it can be helpful to explore those to better understand how to take advantage of such enhancements.

If you find something that had worked in an earlier version but no longer works in a current supported version it would be helpful to let us know what it is so we can advise whether code changes are actually needed or if perhaps you may have found a bug that can be fixed.

I cant remember which it was. i think i had made a post on the forum a couple of months ago. I will definately be making the upgrade on livecode as soon as this software is finished (which god willing is this weekend)
