why do I have to specify the path to the application?


  • Subject: why do I have to specify the path to the application?
  • From: "Mr. Dan Pouliot" <email@hidden>

on my co-worker's computer, this script doesn't work:

try
	tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to activate
end try

but this one does:

try
tell application "Macintosh HD:Applications:FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced:FileMaker Pro Advanced.app"
activate
end tell
end try



can anyone tell me what the underlying issue is and how to resolve it?

it is also causing application specific commands to only compile when the app is open.
