wow, lots of infos, thank you very much, but maybe a little overkill for me. It would suffice for me to get this little snippet to work: ----------------------------------------------------------------- tell application "System Events" set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true return activeApp end tell ---------------------------------------------------------------- Works fine in the AppleScript Editor, but I get "execution error" when DOing this in LC!? Any hints appreciated! Thanks a lot!
