Right. But NSAppleScriptMBS is the future, so I'll add: FSRefValue as folderitem descriptorWithFSRef(item as folderitem) as NSAppleEventDescriptorMBS descriptorWithAlias(item as folderitem) as NSAppleEventDescriptorMBS to the NSAppleEventDescriptorMBS class for easy creating and resolving those items. You can use it like this: // pick a folderitem dim folder as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop // create value with file reference dim d as NSAppleEventDescriptorMBS = NSAppleEventDescriptorMBS.descriptorWithFSRef(folder) // show path MsgBox d.stringValue // convert back to FolderItem dim file as FolderItem = d.FSRefValue // show path MsgBox file.AbsolutePath Will be in next prerelease in the next days. Or I can email you a copy today.
