Hi there again,

From: garrett <email@hidden>

Lets try this again....

I had a script

do you mean in OS X before 10.1.4 or in OS 9?

that selected an item in the finder and it worked:

tell application "Finder"
activate
select {item "Mojave:document"}
end tell

this works for me.
I'm on 10.1.4.

I assume that there is a folder Mojave on your desktop and that there is a document called "document" in that folder right?
You don't actually need the curly braces so try it without them - and even without the keyword "item".

If it's not on your desktop then you need to tell it where it is...

e.g., if your System is on an HD called HD then...
"HD:Users:YourUserName:DoDah...:Mojave:document" for example...

Otherwise - something maybe corrupted on your system.

with regards,
