Application creator code

Hi All,

I'm having problems selecting an application using it's creator code.
I've successfully used the following code for a different application:

    tell application "Finder"
        open application file id "XXXX"
    end tell

but for the one I want to talk to now it doesn't work.

I found in the archives the following code:

    set TheApp to choose file of type "APPL"
    set the clipboard to (info for TheApp)'s file creator


When I run the above script I get a null (no characters) creator code
from the application in question (works fine for other apps).

The application in question can be activated by using it's name.

Any ideas?


Cheers,
Mark
