The following code works fine under 6x but fails with "Can't make
some data into expected type" error in 7.
Set TheFile to "put the path in here"
Tell Application "Quark"
Save Document 1 in file TheFile
End Tell
That's what Quark's dictionary says:
save: Save an object (from Standard Suite)
save reference -- the object to save
[in alias] -- the file in which to save the object
so the required parameter should be an alias.
But I testet
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
save document 1 in "Macintosh HD:Users:peterw:Desktop:doc.qxd"
end tell
with success.
And I got an error for
save document 1 in alias "Macintosh HD:Users:peterw:Desktop:doc.qxd"
Considering Versions 7.x the best would be something like:
try
save document 1 in "Macintosh HD:Users:peterw:Desktop:doc.qxd"
on error
try
save document 1 in file "Macintosh HD:Users:peterw:Desktop:doc.qxd"
on error
try
save document 1 in alias "Macintosh HD:Users:peterw:Desktop:doc.qxd"
on error
error
end try
end try
end try
