CanelaDB stores important information about your setup in script local variables. They can lose the values when you stop and edit your code. LiveCode developed the Variable Preservation mode to protect the content of your script local variables.

Give this a try and see how it goes.

This happens because in your mainstack stack script, the preOpenStack handler calls "initializeCanelaDB", which starts using the canelaDB libraries. If this occurs while gCDBAuthKey is incorrect, you will see the error that you saw.

The reason your preOpenStack handler is getting called multiple times is because you have substacks, and whenever those substacks are opened, a preopenstack handler is sent. The preOpenStack handlers aren't being explicitly handled by the substack, so they pass to the mainstack. I recommend one of the following:

1. Move your preopenstack handler out of your stack script, and into the first card of your stack
or
2. Update your preopenstack handler to check the owner of the target:

Code:

on preOpenStack
   if the owner of the target is me then
   initializeCanelaDB
  end if
end preOpenStack

or
3. Add an empty preopenstack handler to all of your substacks

I think 1. or 2. will work best for you, though I would also still recommend that you don't assign any values to gCDBAuthkey
