I have not used the return of a value to the calling AppleScript program. I do use the following: do codeString as Applescript
to send data to Excel, and also to ask Excel for data, but both originate in Rev. Someone on the list a few months ago was going to send me an example stack about this, but I cannot remember who. My solution if I had to program it tonight would be to use the [trigger the appleevent miscdosc executing a line... send "revToApp" to me in 1000 millisecs on revToApp would fire and pass a global (which was set by a prev handler) to the target app, like Excel. I agree, this is a messy way of having to figure things out. I keep thinking I will get it all figured out someday, build an example stack, and post it. Funny how Applescript seems to become a quagmire of 'ok, I see that, but how do you do this?' For me, it often defies logic, even when you see the solution. Hope this helps.
