Are you using Apples Script Editor or Script Debugger?

Make sure the path is correct like
"HD:FOLDER1:FOLDER2:NEWFILENAME"
You can do that by inserting display dialog right before
your save command
(display dialog resultName)


Goran-

There's nothing like omitting the key piece of info when communicating with
other people... ;-)

The second line should've read thusly:

'I was wondering if it should be alias "Thelonious:Desktop Folder:Test
f:132PER-1002".' (ahem) ;-)

On another tack, I noticed that the non-hard coded (i.e., "real") script was
missing a crucial hyphen ("PER-") in this (since corrected) line:

set docCode to (chartName's text from character -13 to character -15) & "PER-"
& dateCode

But now I run into another problem:

1. When I run the script with the above correction, the script stops at the
following line:

"close document 1 saving yes"

and I get the following error message:

"Can't save document due to error -47.
QuarkXPress got an error: File some object is busy."

2. If I try

"close document 1 saving no"

the script stops at the error message in the try block at the top of the
insertPie handler:

"File does not exist."

I've noticed in debugging, regardless which of the above changes are used (or
none of the above, I don't see any values for myPie in the debugging screen,
which leads me to believe the culprit may be there. But I don't see anything
wrong with myPie. What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.

Ethan

Well, I cannot tell if that is correct or not but you
should concider to run the save command with the path
hardcoded in a separate script, and you might remove any
odd characters from folders like "Test f", just in case!
