Error -43 when attempting to write to file

Hey all,

I wrote this code to write lines to an output file.

I have a property defined at the top of my script:

property theTargetFile : (((path to home folder as string) & "output.txt") as string) as file specification

and then I have this subroutine that logs lines to a file:

on log_to_file(myText)
try
open for access theTargetFile with write permission
write (myText) to theTargetFile starting at eof
close access theTargetFile
on error errMsg number errNum from objErr partial result errList to errClass
display dialog errMsg & ". Error number: " & errNum & " in log_to_file function" giving up after 3
end try
end log_to_file


It is generating the error: "File output.txt wasn't found.. Error number: -43" when some of my users run the script. However, when I run it on my laptop it works fine. Any ideas on why this is happening? Am I creating/setting access to this file the right way? Can I not define this stuff in a property?

thanks

Aaron
