Hello Mike,

By enclosing the problematic statements in a try block without making use of the feedback possibilities, one is missing the important pieces of information about the error cause.
Could you try with that variant:

           on error ErrMsg number ErrNum
              display dialog "There has been an error." & return & return & ¬
                   "Please try again. Inform your Teacher."
              display dialog "Error: " & ErrMsg & " - " & ErrNum
           end try

and see whether the second dialog provides you with some clues about the problem?

HTH,
Axel
