I THINK THIS IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. YOUR TRIGGER SHOULD ONLY CALL BLOCK2 AND THEN EXECUTE A QUERY. WITHIN BLOCK TWO, USE A PRE-QUERY TRIGGER TO COPY IN THE PARAMETERS NEEDED FROM BLOCK1. YOUR FIRST TRIGGER SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE

	GO_BLOCK('BLOCK2_NAME');
	EXECUTE_QUERY;
	GO_FIELD('BLOCK2_NAME.POP_UP_FIELD');
