tell application "Finder"

tell window 1
select alias "Work_Files:Mail-Safe Archive:_Mail-Safe Folder:2010:"
end tell
end tell
If this were to work correctly, it would involve making multiple selections in columns of the window. Apparently this is not possible (but should be, #@%!), so a new window is opened.
The following script works, however ...
tell application "Finder"
activate
tell window 1
select alias "Work_Files:Mail-Safe Archive:"
select alias "Work_Files:Mail-Safe Archive:_Mail-Safe Folder:"
select alias "Work_Files:Mail-Safe Archive:_Mail-Safe Folder:2010:"
end tell
end tell
You have to make the selection one column at a time.
Now that I know how to make a selection in a column view, I find that it makes my script more complicated than I'd like. Perhaps I'll write this as a handler later. I have solved my current problem by simply opening all folders in list view.
