Hi Michelle,

Did you put parentheses around the "get"? I do get the error without them.

Otherwise, I wonder why it works OMM? I'm running 10.6.4 on an Intel Macbook Pro. There are no scripting additions loaded and I've re-verified that the script works. (Two different dialog boxes pop up, both saying "Aug. 8 < 15".) Below is the code again, as it is OMM. Am I overlooking something?

property mnths : {"Jan.", "Feb.", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "Aug.", "Sept.", "Oct.", "Nov.", "Dec."}
set rightNow to (current date)
set dayOWeek to weekday of rightNow as integer
set daysToSun to 8 - dayOWeek
set startDate to rightNow + daysToSun * days
set startMonth to month of startDate as integer
set startDay to day of startDate
set endDate to startDate + 7 * days
set endMonth to month of endDate as integer
set endDay to day of endDate
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}

if endMonth is not startMonth then
	set weekString to (get {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", item endMonth of mnths, endDay}) as text
else
	set weekString to (get {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", endDay}) as text
end if
display dialog weekString

if endMonth is not startMonth then
	set weekString to (get {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", item endMonth of mnths, endDay}) as text
else
	set weekString to (get {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", endDay}) as text
end if
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
--set weekString to weekString as text
display dialog weekString
