Title: Re: Error on make new alias on afp mounted volume
Ed-
Thanks for the suggestion, but whether I say “make new alias at” or your suggestion of “make new alias file at”, I still get mixed results. I can’t get this to happen on a local volume, only on the afp mounted network volume. I don’t know if it has something to do with the reference (x) being on the afp mounted volume. Sometimes the object returned is an alias file (which is what I want), but sometimes it returns a document file with the get error.

I couldn't get your version to fail on my mac, but I'd try this anyway...
set NewAliasFolder to make new alias file at ((folder "Desktop" of home) as alias) to (x) with properties {name:"new alias folder"}
You are creating an alias file. Your script may be confusing the finder or appleScript which sees an alias as one thing and an alias file as something else. Your version probably shouldn't work, but AppleScript is trying to be forgiving.
HTH,
