More clues this afternoon:
I have a stack that builds daily blog entries. I read and write from
the server, and move a lot of files around... I have in one of my
utilities stack a script that let's me pull photos from collections and
move them into the folder where I build the blog content.
I use this:
global gCurrentFolder,gDestinationFolder, glastLine
on mouseUp
revCopyFile (gCurrentFolder& fld "currentImage"), (gDestinationFolder)
-- put gCurrentFolder &cr &gDestinationFolder & cr &the result
select line gLastline of fld "fileList"
send postImage to fld "filelist"
end mouseUp
suddenly today I am getting "execution error" in the result.
revCopyfile I believe uses appleScript or AppleEvents under the hood...
which make me suspicious because another routine I have uses rename:
repeat for each line theFile in tFiles
rename file (TAKADirectory&theFile) to (gArchiveFolder& theFile)
--put the result
end REPEAT
## Move slideshows -- entire folders
put the folders into tFolders
repeat for each line theFolder in tFolders
if char 1 to 2 of theFolder ="ss" then # it is a slide show
rename folder (TAKADirectory&theFolder) to (gArchiveFolder&
theFolder)
end if
end REPEAT
and this works perfectly well.
It's as if over night Applescript is no longer happy with some I/O
routines...because both "open alias" and "revCopyFile" are now failing,
together, "same time, same station." and since I did nothing on my
box.. I'm asking admin here if they did some kind of upgrade to the
network or the server...

It does not affect anything: result is the same with or without "tell" on a
folder selection
alias "Varuna:Ekadanta Kulam:Database:EMBs:733:"
then an attempt
tell application "Finder"
�open alias "Varuna:Ekadanta Kulam:Database:EMBs:733:"
end tell
fails: result: "missing value"
Does it work if you use a local folder?
And what about a different folder on the shared volume?
Can you try working down the file path, so try opening "Varuna:" and
if that works then "Varuna:Ekadanta Kulam:" and so on....
In Finder, if you use the Go menu to show Computer, do you see a hard
drive called "Varuna" or is it anything different?
Are there any accented characters in the folder path?
Sorry, no solution, but maybe we can find some more clues.
Cheers,
Sarah
