Thanks Michelle
But that isn't quite going to do it. I wasn't very clear in my earlier
post. Also I have different perspective on the problem.
I need to create a path that appears in the Export Dialog of an application
(in this case FileMaker Pro). When a FileMaker script "saves" an export
step it saves the "Path" So I need to have a path that I can be sure is
always exactly the same on all OSX computers.
I had a thought...
Would be possible to create an alias to a folder and "mount" that alias as a
drive, so it appears at the highest level of the File Dialogs, using
applescript.?
That way I could force the creation of my known path every time I run my
export step in FileMaker.
I must admit I am way out of my depth here. It "feels" like this shoul be
possible, but I don't know how to do it.
