If the card is corrupted, and this has happened, there is a standard trick.
You do the whole thing in reverse.

Make a new stack, and remember to copy the background. Go back to the
suspect stack and write a script that copies all the cards from the first to the
card just before the bad one, and also copies all the cards from just after
the bad one to the end.

You don't delete the bad card, you extract all the good ones.

Each card in this stack is a database of each customer and I think it's a bad card as I can't view it anymore.
How do you remove it assuming I can't fix it?
When I press the right arrow to go to each customer it stops at a customer card and can't go any further. So this one customer and I know which one it is, i just want to remove it.
Thanks

Hi,

You can try the delete command.

delete card x
delete this cd

Perhaps it looks like you can't access a card because the arrowkey message is handled by a script. There might be other reasons. Usually, if you can't access a card but HyperCard doesn't crash, there is a good reason why you can't access that card.

Did you make that stack yourself?

Normally when I delete a card it goes to the next one but it's that next one that's bad so I can't even delete the good one before it.

Hi,

You should see some kind of error or a crash if a card can't be accessed. Are you sure that nothing else is going on? Did you make that stack yourself?

You might use Split & Recover to recover your stack http://qurl.tk/jj

There used to be a stack for repairing bad stacks called "Recover Stack" (I
think) that would make a duplicate of the corrupted stack minus the bad
card. Maybe its still posted somewhere.

Regardless of which repair method you choose, be sure to make a backup copy
of your stack first.
