Apple

I think Deivy has it right -- the frontmost app will be the script itself when it is running. I need a way to find out what the frontmost app is before the script runs. I found a solution on the MacScripter board which uses:

tell application "System Events"

set visible of (first application process whose frontmost is true) to false

set Name_App to item 1 of (get name of processes whose frontmost is true)

activate

display dialog Name_App

end tell

If you double click this to launch it, you will get "Finder" as the frontmost application, however, I am planning on triggering this from Spotlight, and doing it that way, it is the perfect solution.

Thanks for your insights.
