Title: Help with AS problem please.
Hi all
Heres a simple script I was testing under Snow to open a pre existing Quark file from my desktop:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
open "10.6:Users:xxxxxxx:Desktop:TEST"
end tell
also I tried
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
open file "10.6:Users:xxxxxxxx:Desktop:TEST"
end tell
Both generate this error under 10.6
error "QuarkXPress got an error: Can’t make some data into the expected type." number -1700 to item
Incidently the same script works fine under Leopard 10.5.
I have also reinstalled everything incase it was a dictionary problem. The only thing I haven't done is downgrade QuarkXpress. If I do it is no longer supported under 10.6.
This is driving me mad. Can anyone please explain to me what this error means or how to resolve it.
PS: I have recently stared using the mail list. Thank you all for your help and advice, what a great resource these lists are. Hopefully I can help someone in return. Cheers. Nick
