HyperCard Question
This post is for a friend who is using HyperCard GS.

-< Scripting problem >-
I'm writing button scripts for a family tree stack I'm developing. And
having a little trouble with what should be simple!
I'm trying to develop the name of a card to which I want to go when a
button on a different card is pressed. (Call them the target card and
the source card.) On the source card I have two fields named "ID" and
"Married 1 ID" to hold the tree-related identification numbers assigned
to the person whose card I'm on and that person's first spouse. There
is a button named "Children" - when it's clicked, I want the script to
develop a name consisting of the two ID fields' contents and go to a
card with that name, the target card, where their children are listed.
The script does this:
put field "ID" && field "Married 1 ID" into toCard
go to card toCard
What goes into the container toCard is the two fields' contents with a
space between them; for example "03A0002 03A0003" - so I gave that name
to the desired target card and tried it. I get a "no such card" error.
Ideas, anyone?
