Maybe you are getting some other sort of error in the other script
which is causing both scripts to fail? Try this and see what error you
capture:
----
try
with timeout of (60 * 60) seconds
run script ":Library:Scripts:Universal Scripts:ReadMinders" as alias
end timeout
on error the error_message number the error_number
set the error_text to "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the
error_message
display dialog the error_text buttons {"OK"} default button 1
return the error_text
end try
----
By the way, this is just the "Message and Return" error handler that
Apple provides in its contextual menu for Script Editor. Some of those
scripts are pretty useful, I definitely don't use them nearly enough.

There is no "Cancel" button.
When the Dialog is accepted in the ReadMinders script I want control
to return to the original script.
When the "Cancel" button is pressed in the default dialog box it
returns an error -128 which quits the script. The quit script
returns the error to the calling script which also quits. I would
change the call to:
----
try
with timeout of (60 * 60) seconds
run script ":Library:Scripts:Universal Scripts:ReadMinders" as
alias
end timeout
end try
----
You can, of course, also put some error handling in there if you
want. You could also wrap the dialog box command in the called
script with a try block so that the "Cancel" button error gets
handled properly.
No matter what it is still a good practice to wrap the "run script"
command with a try block so that errors can be handled gracefully.

Hi,
OS 10.3.4.
I have a script that ends with;
with timeout of (60 * 60) seconds
run script ":Library:Scripts:Universal Scripts:ReadMinders" as alias
end timeout
The "ReadMinders" script ends with a dialog box. When the Dialog box
is clicked the script ends and does not return to the calling
script.
What have I overlooked? Do I need to deal with the clicked buttons?
