Hi,
Someone in another office here is having an AppleScript applet problem that has us stumped.
He's using Script Timer (2.3.1) to run a script every day at 6 am. The script opens a Filemaker database, runs a Filemaker script then quits Filemaker.
When we run it directly from Script Timer or set Script Timer to run the script in a few minutes, it works flawlessly. But, when it's run in the morning it generates an error:
> Wednesday, October 19, 2005 6:00:00 AM: Starting
> <FM5MailDataNQ.app(RunMailScriptNoQuit)> . (Run Number: 34)
>
> Wednesday, October 19, 2005 6:02:06 AM: Error attempting to execute
> <FM5MailDataNQ.app> Number -1713: No user interaction allowed.

We've contacted the Script Timer vendor and followed their suggestions (setting the wait time to 0) to no avail.
Any suggestions? (The fairly short script is included below).
try
tell the application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
open file "FMServer01:PhotoLabOMSbu:EMP_REC.fp5" with password "locust"
do script "[EXPORT]MailList"
quit
end tell
on error the error_message number the error_number
set the error_text to {runcount, ". Error: ", the error_number, ". ", the error_message} as string
activate me
my write_error_log(the error_text)
return error_text
end try
on write_error_log(this_error)
set the error_log to ((path to desktop) as text) & "Script Error Log.txt"
try
open for access file the error_log with write permission
write (this_error & return) to file the error_log starting at eof
close access file the error_log
on error
try
close access file the error_log
end try
end try
end write_error_log
