I need to change the location to another drive. Is the following
the correct syntax?
set gTheDir to startup_disk & "Volumes:200GB:on_demand" as file

No, because the other drive is not within the startup disk hierarchy.
This works:
tell application "Finder"
set targetDisk to (disk 2 as text)
-- or whatever disk number or name you wish
end tell
set gTheDir to targetDisk & "library" as file specification
-- change the folder hierarchy as needed
-- Michelle

Discordians don't pray: it is far too dangerous.
