Does anyone now how to tell applescript to use the correct OS version of an
app that has both 9 and X versions on my computer?
A the moment, if I try to get 'recurrence' of any [calendar] event in, it
compiles as variable and errors on execution.
there is no problem with executing the raw code:
get +property pRca; of event 1
but it won't compile as 'recurrence' as it should. Same thing with 'remind
time' +property pRnt;
These are both properties added in Entourage X that don't exist in 2001.
The dumb OS doesn't recognize them probably because I was booted in OS 9
recently, running and scripting 2001. Even though Entourage X is open as a
running process, its properties aren't compilable if they're not in the OS 9
version of the app.
When I closed Entourage X and tried
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to launch
Classic and Entourage 2001 tried to start up.
I tried:
set application "Microsoft Entourage" to choose application
and chose the right X version (which launched), but got an AS error that I
couldn't do this: 'access not allowed'.
Does anyone know how to reset the app to the X version, as far as AS is
concerned?
I can go on using the raw codes, but then I hit that idiotic bug where
<<property>> compiles as class, and when I recompile with <<class> typed it
compiles OK but the script will error on execution. So that is not a
solution.
