How about:

tell app "Finder" to try
set srcFile to file "blah" of folder "blah" of disk "blah"
set destFold to folder "blah" of disk "blah"
open for access (srcFile as unicode text) write permission true
close access result
copy theFile to destFold
on error
-- etc
end try


Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike. That worked fine. I did alter the open for access line to read:

open for access (srcFile as unicode text) without write permission

Just a safety precaution as the files being copied are ultra sensitive to alterations. The result was the same either way.



Cool. For some reason I thought you might be able to read busy files, but I guess they're too busy for that!


Cheers,
Mike
