Subject: Script tell the wrong app !

Hi all, I have a problem with a script I've made that tells Photoshop.
I sent it to a costumer but when he launches it, Image Ready opens and
an error comes !
My script does not deal at all with Image Ready, only with Photoshop...
so it seems that my script try to tell to wrong app : IR instead of PS
and an error come because the code is made for PS.
Does someone know why this happens and what can I do to make this
script running on my costumer's computer (the same script works great
on my mac) ?
Thanks Thomas

Thomas, I might have a similar problem. Here's what happened to me:
BBEdit was on my iMac, and an icon for BBEdit was in the Dock. I had a
compiled script that contained this line:
tell application "BBEdit 6.1 for OS X"
as well as several references to selection (i.e., references to the
BBEdit characters that were selected).
After I installed both versions of Mac OS X 10.2.8, BBEdit disppeared
from the Applications folder, and the BBEdit icon in the Dock changed
to a question mark.
I've since installed Panther. I haven't re-installed BBEdit on my
iMac, but I have a backup copy of BBEdit on my LaCie external hard
drive.
Now if my LaCie is turned on when I open the script in the script
editor, the correct text appears, and the copy of BBEdit that's on the
LaCie is launched.
However, if my LaCie is not turned on when I open the script, the tell
statement in the script editor window is this line:
tell application "find bochs"
references to selection are replaced by references to +class pusl;, and
when I run the script, application "find bochs" activates (instead of
BBEdit).
Has either computer (yours or your customer's) had problems with Mac OS
X 10.2.8 and/or with directories getting messed up?
I recommend that you open your script in the script editor on your
client's computer. Look at the lines where you expect to see tell
statements to Photoshop. You might see tell statements to Image Ready
instead. If so, make sure that Photoshop is still installed on that
computer.
I'll probably re-partition my iMac's hard drive soon. After I do so, I
won't be able to duplicate this problem, because (hopefully) the
directory problems of 10.2.8 will be fixed. Do you want me to do any
more checking of this AppleScript problem before I re-partition the
hard drive?
