spake thusly:
I need to do this (in 10.5.5) ...
set refNr to (open for access htmlFile with write permission)
but I keep getting the error -54, "File permission error".
I've checked permissions and I (the current admin user) do
have read-write permission.
That's the message when another process on the same machine
already opened the file with that same AppleScript command. I
wonder whether the files opened by a process close magically
when it quits. I would think that no.
That's what I was thinking, so the original code said this ...
try
close access htmlFile
end try
try
set refNr to (open for access htmlFile with write permission)
so I shouldn't be getting the error for that reason. Perhaps I need to restart?
Just for drill, what does the variable htmlFile contain - Alias,
File Ref. or something else?
