launch/activate application from variable


  • Subject: launch/activate application from variable
  • From: peter <email@hidden>
  • Date: Wed, 14 May 2003 09:30:26 +0200

what syntax should be used to launch or activate an application from a
variable?
ie if my application is a variable contained within the field "name" of
a record called "this_record"
can I do something along the lines of:

tell application (name of this_record)
activate
end tell

I am really stumped on this one,
any ideas?

thanks,
Peter
