The following script runs in Filemaker Pro 5.5 and was successful due to a lot of help from some of you out there - and it works great under OS 10.2.4, the computer I use.

However, the final person that will be using it has 9.2.2 on her Mac and when I tested it on her machine it came up with the following error;

"Finder got an error: Bad Name file.some object"

After clicking on the OK in the error window it did put a folder on the desktop named "Untitled". I remember reading here or somewhere that Applescript works different under OS X than in OS earlier. What do I need to change or modify to get this to work under 9.2.2?

Thanks again for all the help I have received here!
