>>luther>> Last week I wrote a relatively simple AppleScript application that
creates multiple, switchable desktops in Tiger (10.4.11 PPC G4). (Something
like Leopard's Spaces, but without a fancy GUI.) This week I rounded-off the
rough edges and fixed a bug. Yesterday, I posted it to Version Tracker.
>>"Error = -609 Finder got an error: Connection is invalid." (My error dialog.)

find additional info on this error at Apple's site.

I've seen this error after Finder has quit, either from a script command or
due to a crash (Finder not responding; Finder Unexpectedly Quit).
In some cases, a delay of one second or more in your script will avoid the
problem.
Tell application "Finder" to quit
Delay 1
Tell application "Finder" to activate
If you're script is not deliberately quitting the finder, (or it could be
some other app) then something is causing the finder to crash, figuring out
what that is and fixing it will also avoid the problem.
If you can narrow down where the error is happening, something like this
might help:
repeat
Try
Tell application "Finder" to activate
Exit repeat
On error errText number errNum
If errNum = -609 then
Delay 2
Else
-- your error handling routine
Exit repeat
End if
End repeat
(not tested)
