Trying to have FM run a script that copy's a folder off a CD to a volume drive. After about a minute I get an error from AppleScript, that an AppleEvent timed out and the error is -1712.

How do I lengethen the expected time out? I added a wait with 3600 seconds but that didn't do it...

Here is my code...

code:

---

tell application "Finder"

 	activate

 	select every item of container window of folder "LOW" of disk "PO 4026" 			

with timeout of 3600 seconds

copy selection to folder "LOW" of folder "PROJECT" of disk "Photo Library" 

end timeout

end tell

This seems to be a bug in the way Filemaker handles applescript timeouts. It doesn't seem to pay attention to the "with timeout" instruction. See the following post for more discussion on this problem:
