Hello,

I am still trying to get at least a bit of a handle on GUI scripting and am running into the following error when accessing menus:

System Events got an error:
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4

The script in question is the following:

tell application "Preview"
activate
end tell
delay 10
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
click menu item "Open" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
end tell
end tell

Try

tell app "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
set frontmost to true
tell menu bar 1 to click menu 3's second menu item
end
end


Don't ask me why.


JD
