Hello,
This is what I have
DIM EOL as New EndOfLine
'Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp.app") 'If app exists
Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp alias") 'if MyApp alias
exists
'Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp") 'if MyApp alias exists
and its name is changed to MyApp
If f = Nil or f.Exists = False then
msgbox "The item (MyApp alias) is not found" + EOL +_
"Please make sure that it is there, and try again."
return
elseif f.trueChild = nil then
msgbox "The alias (MyApp alias) could not be opened, because the original
item cannot be found" + EOL +_
"Please make sure that the alias is not orphaned."
return
else
f.launch
end if
... it does not compile.
any suggestions?
Thanks.
Lennox
