Hello

I don't find where is the culprit but something plays the fool on my iMac intel inside.

When I try to run this short script

 [SCRIPT]
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
set oldPrefs to (get preferences)
end tell
[/SCRIPT]

From time to time it behaves flawlessly but some times, it send an error message:

number -50
Parameter error

As ist's not permanent, I don't understand what is wrong.

I cleaned quite everything (with Onyx)
I trashed AppleWorks preferences file so I'm sure that the available ones are clean.
I trashed the Script Editor's preferences to be sure to use clean ones.


And I' running macOS X 10.5.6

I would be glad to learn which track may help me to get a normal behavior.

Thanks you for the 'numerous' responses.

Digging in the beast I found which feature was fooling the code.

I tried to grab the preferences one by one.

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	activate
	tell preferences
		try
			get old version warning
		end try
		try
			get locked file warning
		end try
		try
			get paint reduction warning
		end try
		try
			get converted file suffix
		end try
		try
			get file extension
		end try
		try
			get default font
		end try
		try
			get default font size
		end try
		try
			get remember translator
		end try
	end tell
end tell

and so I discovered than the 'get default font' returned an error.

Given that, I no longer grab the entire set but only the infos which I really need to get.
