This worked yesterday: File path question

File path issues confound me.

A longish script containing the line;
open file "G4 HD:MSO Show Log database:CD log project copy 1"
stopped working, giving me a -120 error. This is a script I use several
times a week.

Changing to "open file alias..." got it to start working again.

I don't think that I moved the location of the file I'm pointing to, so I'm
confused. BTW, another file referred to in the same folder wouldn't work
properly till I changed it to an alias reference.

Is it best to always use the alias reference, even if you think the file
isn't going to move?
