System Events - Selecting a Folder

Hi All,

I have an application that is not scriptable, I have used System Events to select a "Save as Special..." menu item. This works fine but the application puts up a standard Choose Folder dialog in order to select the folder to store the file. I can keystroke a "return" and this works too to select the current folder path, but the folder path is not guaranteed to be where I need it to be, e.g. it could be pointing to anywhere on the hard disk(s). I need the file(s) save in a specific place so as to do Script processing on the resultant files.

Is there any way I can select the correct folder in the application before I send the "return" keystroke?

Thanks a lot for your help.

All the Best
Dave
