I need to make the following line, within an Applescript within a Filemaker script, able to work on any desktop within the office, whether running OSX or OS9.2:

set sourceFolder to "MacintoshHD:Users:username:desktop:fileondesktop:"

The above is specific to OSX on one desktop and I need it to work on one of several different desktops.

Try...

set sourceFolder to ((path to desktop folder as string) & "fileondesktop") as string
