Hi,

Im running filmaker server 7. it was running on a OS 10.2.8 server, Recently our hardware guy installed over it OS 10.4.2 server and everything seemed to be working, However now i cannot perform the applescript that used to work fine when the filemaker server was on 10.2.8

Like so

set userComp to (do shell script "echo $USER")

set fold_path to "Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:Exported images:"

tell application "Finder"

delete every item of folder fold_path

end tell

Now it doesnt do a thing , wondering is the upgrade the problem or is there a setting i need to fiddle with somehwere,

as always thanks for any help.

Did the name of the hard drive or any of the folders change? Does the images folder have the correct permissions so the script can access it?

Here's how I'd modify the AppleScript so it can trap and display errors:

tell application "Finder"

try

delete every item of folder fold_path

on error ErrorMessage number ErrorNumber

set theError to "Error (explain more here): " & (ErrorNumber as string) & ". " & (ErrorMessage as string) & return

display dialog theError buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon stop

end try

end tell
