This (part of a) script only runs on 10.5.8 and not on 10.6. Could anyone tell how to adjust this snippet to make it compatible with 10.6?
tell application "Open_ProductGroups_Server_v01" of machine "eppc://applescript:email@hidden"
set ProductGroups to open_TXT_File()
end tell

The (Intel) Mac with IP address 192.168.10.21 still has Mac OS 10.5.8 Server installed. I didn't change anything on that Mac.
The application "Open_ProductGroups_Server_v01" is a simple (stay open) applescript that runs on the server and contains the following handler:
on open_TXT_File()
set myFile to "Fotostudio-ServerDisk:B:BIJENKORF TEST MAP BERT AFBLIJVEN:Productgroups:ProductGroups.txt"
set myTXT_File to open for access myFile
set ProductGroups to read myTXT_File
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "
"
set ProductGroups to every text item of ProductGroups
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
close access myTXT_File
return ProductGroups
end open_TXT_File




I guess that the culprit is the handler.

set myTXT_File to open for access file myFile

would be better.

I would edit the handler this way :

on open_TXT_File()
	set myFile to "Fotostudio-ServerDisk:B:BIJENKORF TEST MAP BERT AFBLIJVEN:Productgroups:ProductGroups.txt"
	set myTXT_File to open for access file myFile
	set ProductGroups to read myTXT_File
	close access myTXT_File

	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "
"
	set ProductGroups to every text item of ProductGroups
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	return ProductGroups
end open_TXT_File

which close the text file immediately when there is no need to leave it open.

There is no reason to manually open and close a text file just to read it. This should work just fine and be slightly quicker.


on open_TXT_File()
set ProductGroups to read file "Fotostudio-ServerDisk:B:BIJENKORF TEST MAP BERT AFBLIJVEN:Productgroups:ProductGroups.txt"


	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "
"
	set ProductGroups to every text item of ProductGroups
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	return ProductGroups
end open_TXT_File
