Running the following script in AppleScript editor creates error -1728:

--start
   set AS_path to POSIX file "/Applications/"
   tell application "Finder"
 set dat to modification date of AS_path
   end tell
--end

Why are you referring to a folder using “file” ? I’d use this:

set AS_path to path to applications folder
tell application "Finder" to set dat to modification date of AS_path

OK, I choose a bad example. My problem is refering to *any* file or folder and I need to specify it with a posix path. So to test it on your system try this


set AS_path to POSIX file "/.DS_Store"

or any valid file on your system.
