Hmm that script works fine for me. Maybe you don't have read permission on the file you are copying or write permission at the place you are putting the file?

I am trying to use the Finder duplicate command, but I keep getting an error:

Finder got an error: Script error.
Error Number -1753"

Can anyone tell me what this might mean? I was sure I had it working earlier.

My script looks something like:

-----------------------------------------------------
set sourceFile to (choose file with prompt "Choose file to duplicate")
set targetFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose target folder")

try
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFileName to name of sourceFile as text
set backupFile to duplicate sourceFile to targetFolder with
replacing --<-- fails here
end tell
display dialog "Duplication of " & sourceFileName & " was successful"
on error errMsg number errNum
display dialog errMsg & return & "Error Number " & errNum
end try
------------------------------------------------------
