Getting link target object

Hi.

I'm running into a problem when accessing an object that is the target of a link from my current object. The code I am running is using the current module, cycles through an object for out-links and whenever it finds an out-link, it sets objLink as the object, or well it is supposed to. As of right now, it recogizes the link, lnk, and when it get to:

code
objLink = target(lnk)
code

objlink get sets to null, although it sees the link. Is there something needed in order to get a handle on this object? Read the module, open the module etc?

Thanks

Link lnk
Object objLink
for lnk in (current Object) ->"*" do
{  objLink = target(lnk)
   break
}
if (null objLink) //
then infoBox("No out links")
else infoBox("One target of current object is " identifier(objLink))

That doesn't display a target of a link from the current object?

Do perhaps you have AutoDeclare off and forget to declare "oTarget" as an "Object"?

Link lnk
Object objLink
for lnk in (current Object) ->"*" do
{  objLink = target(lnk)
   break
}
if (null objLink) //
then infoBox("No out links")
else infoBox("One target of current object is " identifier(objLink))

It was declared at the beginning of the code, but the object I was trying to get a handle on, wasn't in the same module. So this is what fixed it.
 

string tmn = fullName target(lnk)
if(!open module tmn){
    read(tmn, false)
}

That was inserted in the for loop, but before I set objLink equal to the object.
