Reliably calling an application within Handlers

Hello folks,

I'm trying to write a series of scripts which will reference an application for example: InDesign. The application is running on several computers and operators change the names from simply shortening it to some other rude alternative (long-term XPress user). If the application is not available, I could easily detect and update the property.

I want to do something like:

property theApp: "InDesign 1.5.2" as string

then be able to say

tell theApp
-- do something
end tell

I can get this to work inconsistently and was hoping that I was just missing some key point.

Thanks,

Scott
