Hello, What do you think "My_Doc" is? It is an alias, a path
as string, passed in a variable.
open alias My_Doc, and open file My_Doc both work fine
in 9.2.2 with Qxp 4 and 5, or FINDER for that matter. Always
have. No Jon's needed. I usually do use "open alias" but
this was an example of something different tried that
also should have worked.
However, neither works with Qxp 4 & 5 in OS X 10.2.8,
Still seeking an answer. . . the riddles without any answers
are of little use and don't address the question or the
problem. Seems that hopping to classic is causing a
problem with this normal syntax.
tell application "Finder" to open file My_Doc, works too,
as does tell application "Finder" to open alias My_Doc.
But, you cannot get the Quark doc to open using doc
prefs, auto update, yada yada, etc etc. that way.
anybody have an actual answer to the question? TIA.
