Open for access with write permission


  • Subject: Open for access with write permission
  • From: Michelle Steiner <email@hidden>

This should be a simple thing:

set UserFile to choose file with prompt "Please choose the dictionary file to add the words to."

set fileRef to open for access UserFile with write permission

-->  "File file Dora:Users:michelle:Desktop:en is already open."

set eof of fileRef to (get eof of fileRef) + 1
write additions to fileRef
close access bar

If I put a close access statement right before the open access statement, I get an error saying that the file isn't open.

If I omit "with write permission", I get an error on the next line saying that it's not open with write permission.

If I delete the file and change the first line to
set UserFile to choose file name with prompt "Please choose the dictionary file to add the words to."


I still get "File file Dora:Users:michelle:Desktop:en is already open."

In short, whether I try to open an existing file or create one from scratch, I get that error.
