>I've used in the past successfully 2 scripts to daily backup my Message >Database and my Address Book > >Now, if I select a script via PM's AppleScript pulldown menu, all is well >and it will backup. BUT, if I just double-click the same script in the >finder, it will not execute, just open the Script. Fine, I click RUN - >Result is that the AppleScript itself gets duplicated. > >The path is correct, same script, 2 different behaviors. Any idea how to >overcome this? > >It's a problem because I used to use iCal to trigger these scripts, but >it just isn't working anymore. It used to work with having an Alias of >that script in the iCal folder. Now nothing works. > >The duplicate Address Database script looks like this: > >set originalAB to "FullPath:Address Database" as string > >tell application "Finder" > select file originalAB > duplicate selection >end tell -- Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca, writer and philosopher * 867 PowerBook G4 * OS X 10.2.6 * 768 MB Ram *
