John:
Thanks for the tip. In my earlier tests from the Script Menu, I had windows
open in Apple's Script Editor. I tried the script again with Script Editor
not running and the data in the file on the "store script" command updated
properly.
Unfortunately, after this success from the Script Menu, I discovered that
the same script would now no longer update the data when run from the Script
Editor. So the problem was reversed. The only way I was able to have the
script run correctly again in the Script Editor was to delete the file
specified as the destination on the "store script" command.
No matter what I've tried, I have been unable to get the data to update if
the code is run as an Applet. More importantly, it does not work when
triggered from QuicKeys, whose menu and timing options I generally use for
running all my other compiled scripts.
Is there a way to use the "store script" command successfully in these
cases?
