Hi jef

hey great, thanks! got it working easy, never thought to use Open URL to open files, but of course it makes total sense. SoundFileField is a calculation (ID_name_title), so i don't even need to bother with the insertion step.

Open URL "file://Macintosh HD/Users/UserName/Folder/" & SoundFileField

the only thing i can't do with this method is set which application to read the file with; the files will be created with Nuendo, but for this function i want Peak to open them. that would only be possible -- it seems -- by setting the system-wide preference to open file type A (Nuendo) to open in programme B (Peak).
That's correct AFAIK

i tried using Send Event (Bring Target App to forefront) to override the default prog set to open the file, but i'm sure you know that this doesn't work :-(
It should work, and in fact I've used the Send Event step exactly for the purpose you mention, to open files with a specific application
Most probably you've encountering syntax problems ...
