Hello Jean-Christophe,

You could try with this one:

		set job_path to open for access (POSIX file ((POSIX path of project_folders) & "informations/" & job_name)) with write permission

Note that this is a partial fix only, since another problem would occur if the message's subject contains a forward slash...

It would probably be safer to check whether job_name contains columns, and to replace them with some character.

HTH,
Axel
