Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to access the Finder on another machine in my
Appletalk LAN. I've tried the following:
set remoteFolder to (choose folder) -- choose a folder on the remote machine
tell application "Finder" of machine "PM6100"
reveal remoteFolder
end tell
When I try to compile this test script I get the following error:
"Can't find remote machine"
after a small delay while ScriptEditor apparently searches for "PM6100".
This is name I have given the remote machine, verified by executing the AS
command "computer name" on that machine.
If I try to find out the names of the machines on my LAN, this is what
happens:
get every machine
--> Can't make some data into the expected type.
This is for AS 1.6, OS 9.1.
Thanks for any help,
Don
