Does the folder that you're trying to select a file in have it's window
open? The select command may be giving you problems if that's not the case.
And what is 'ARTID'? Is that a variable containing a string that can be used
as the file name? It will need to be for the renaming to work. If it is,
try...
set myARTID to (file COPY_ARTID of folder fileContainer) as alias
set name of myARTID to ARTID
...instead of the two equivalent lines in your original script.
