Stockly, Ed wrot
set theAlias to make new alias file to theFile

You need to specify where you want the new alias file to appear. AppleScript doesn't assume the current directory.

This may help get you started
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to "/Users/edstockly/Documents/2-CoverHighlights"
set theFile to theFile as POSIX file
set aliasFile to make new alias file at desktop to theFile
set the name of aliasFile to "New Alias File"
end tell


ES
Thanks Ed, but i have a full path such

"/Users/edstockly/Documents/2-CoverHighlightsAlias"

for the alias name

can I simply specify a mutifolder path for the location of the alias
i.e.



set aliasFile to make new alias file at "/Users/edstockly/Documents/2
" to theFile

Paul
