I think I follow, but I'm not sure. I don't see a "display dialog"
in your script, so I'm guessing there was one in the version you
expected to give the user a dialog box.
But...are you saying this script doesn't run at all? That is, if you
replace the entire script with
display dialog "It ran."
...does this also fail to run, in the same way, the first time you
choose it from the script menu?

I am writing a very simple script that reads the modification date of
a folder on a network share. The folder is on a Windows server and is
mounted on each of the Mac computers as xshare$. My script is also
located on xshare$.
Here is my script snippet:
set theFolderPath to "xshare$:xxxxxxx:xxxxxxx:"
tell application "Finder"
set theFolder to folder theFolderPath
set folderDate to modification date of theFolder
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?
