Hey Mark,

That did the trick. Amazing how one little check box can cause so much trouble. :-)

And thanks for the suggestion about the subject of my message. Guess it would have helped to be a little less vague, eh? :-)

Hello everyone,

I wrote a small AppleScript utility to put on a new user's Mac that
will automatically open up System Preferences in the Accounts pane,
where they can change their password.  The weird problem I am having
is that the script works with no problems on my PowerBook G4, but
when I run it on an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro, I get the following
error message:

NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4

Have you enabled both "Access for Assistive Devices" (in the Universal Access preferences pane) and "GUI Scripting" (in the AppleScript Utility)? When I've seen that message in the past it's turned out to be because it was on a newer machine and I hadn't gotten around to checking those boxes yet.

If that's not the problem, then I'm afraid I have no more help to
offer... other than to point out, in what I hope to be a polite and
constructive manner, that "Problem with AppleScript" is not the most
informative of subjects when sent to an AppleScript mailing list. :)
