Peter,

You're dealing with an element, not a property, of the person's entry. The short explanation is that properties always exist and elements may or may not exist. If that entry hasn't got an email entry, it must be created with

tell application "Address Book"

set thePeople to every person whose name is "David Baxter"

repeat with aperson in thePeople

tell aperson

make new email at end of emails with properties {label:"work", value:"email@hidden"}

end tell

end repeat

end tell

Hope this helps.

Hi people,

I was playing with the concept of an automatic updater of email

addresses for mail to the address book based on Paul Tuckey's idea.

Unfortunately this part of the script does not work:

tell application "Address Book"

try

set thePeople to (firstName & " " & lastName)

set first email of thePeople to theAddress

save addressbook

on error

set thePeople to (lastName & " " & firstName)

set first email of thePeople to theAddress

save addressbook

end try

end tell

I get a class error

Can't set «class az21» 1 of "David Baxter" to

"email@hidden".

Why?
