Michelle,

More than the parens changed. Compare the two, the successful script
didn't address the path to the startup disk, it addressed the path to the
desktop. I think that's what confused me and it was the difference
between how the process between the two versions works.

This was my original script, which failed:

set theHD to (path to startup disk) as text
set folderPath to theHD & "Desktop Folder:CalendarMaker:"
set ImagePath to folderPath & "TestImages:"
set theList to list folder ImagePath

This was Daniel's which worked:

set theDesktop to path to the desktop as text
set folderPath to theDesktop & "CalendarMaker:"
set ImagePath to folderPath & "TestImages:"
set theList to list folder ImagePath as alias without invisibles

Thanks again,

Carl
