Hello,

How do i Copy the text from a cell into the "Comments" property of a file? (using OSX.2)

thanks in advance

I haven't tested it on OSX, but it should be something like

tell application "Finder" to set FileComment to comment of theFileAlias

tell application "FileMaker Pro" to set cell "File Comment" of current record to FileComment

hmm,

thanks for your info ,i fiddled around:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

set myfile to cell "filepathtext"

set mycomments to cell "description"

end tell

tell application "Finder"

set mycomments to comment of the file myfile

end tell

i could "see" (through the hard drive light) Fmpro accessing the file but nothing happened ,i checked the file in OS9 and nothing there either ,i know there is weirdness between os9 and osx regarding comments ..

any ideas

thank you

I read your question backwards. It should be ...

set comment of the file myfile to mycomments
