hello,

I have a Database that worked perfectly well in Jaguar ,but alas in Panther it doesn't work .The Script basically reveal's a file in the finder that a record is linked to using the "filepathtext" field ( i set "Filepathtext to Filepathglobal in a script step before this applescript)

Now the script goes to the finder and then announces that the file cannot be found ,even if it does.

i believe it is the line "if myfile exists then" that is the problem ,if i remove this line and therefore disable the failure dialog the script works fine...

any ideas ..

here is the script

Paul Apted

tell Application "FileMaker pro"

Set Myfile to cell "finderpathglobal"

end tell

tell Application "Finder"

activate

if myfile exists then

reveal file myfile

else

display Dialog "NO SOUNDFILE FOUND

Check Media is Online or Record is Properly Linked" buttons{"OK"} default button "OK"

end if

if button returned of result is equal to "OK" then Tell Application "Filemaker Pro"

Activate

end tell

end tell

What happens if you change:

"If myfile exists"

to

"If File myfile exists"

?

then it works..........

I hate it when that happens

Many thanks ,although i could have sworn i had tried that

Paul
