Hi-

Having trouble with a script when trying to call it from inside FMP
as a stored script. It works fine as in script editor and
ScriptDebugger. I can  cut and paste it. but when FMP 8 and 8.5 tries
to compile it, it breaks. Much of the script is calculated, and it
needs to be, since its doing a date conversion.

The error is ' Expected "," but found class name* FMP shows that
variable "thePath" is the issue.
if I comment out that line, or drop in a string instead of the read,
it works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Tim
