rec_name is a string. Offset is a method of string. Why is access not allowed?
obviously offset is being interpreted by Excel somehow. Take it outside the tell block?
Thanks that did it, though it did mess up my code a bit (a lot
initially because I rewrote it thinking that variables are scoped
inside tell blocks, which they're not. AppleScript is weird - but in a
good way :-). Kind of like perl only you can actually read your own
code). I hit upon a little diatribe on AppleScript's name resolution
mechanism in the mean time that makes this kind of clear. Can I use
something like "using terms" to tell AppleScript to look up terms in
the Standard Extensions namespace or use an explicit namespace
qualifier of some sort?
