Hey Charles,
no actually my problem was from a local drive, I think the problem is
more finder related rather than network drive related..?
someone could correct me...?

Wayne,
That seems to fix the problem! Thanks.
I wonder why this would happen...was your problem in getting the size
of a folder also on a network share, or was it on a local drive?

someone might have a specific answer for you, but i had a similar
problem with getting the size of the folder, on panther, when you
asked for the size of (get info) of a folder, it would not return the
result the first time, the fix i came up with was putting the same
line of code twice in my script ( i can see people wincing now) but
it solved the problem.
try that?
set theFolderPath to "xshare$:xxxxxxx:xxxxxxx:"
tell application "Finder"
set theFolder to folder theFolderPath
set folderDate to modification date of theFolder
set folderDate to modification date of theFolder --- duplicate
this line
end tell
The script is then supposed to give the user a dialog box with the
modification date. When I try running this script on a new machine
(putting an alias to the folder containing the script on that
machine's script menu), the script fails to run the first time
(i.e.,
nothing happens). *However*, the second time, and all subsequent
times, the script runs successfully. This pattern will repeat if I
restart the computer.
Does anyone have any ideas why this script wouldn't run the first
time?
