Ah.  Check the documentation for FolderItem.TrueChild.

Thanks Charles,

The message is -

that method needs more parameters:

  elseif f.trueChild = nil then
msgbox "The alias (MyApp alias) could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found" + EOL +_
    "Please make sure that the alias is not orphaned."
    return

Hello,
This is what I have

  DIM EOL as New EndOfLine

  'Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp.app") 'If app
exists
  Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp alias") 'if
MyApp alias exists
  'Dim f as FolderItem = DocumentsFolder.Child("MyApp") 'if MyApp
alias exists and its name is changed to MyApp

  If f = Nil or f.Exists = False then
    msgbox "The item (MyApp alias) is not found" + EOL +_
    "Please make sure that it is there, and try again."
    return

  elseif f.trueChild = nil then
    msgbox "The alias (MyApp alias) could not be opened, because
the original item cannot be found" + EOL +_
    "Please make sure that the alias is not orphaned."
    return
  else
    f.launch
  end if

  ... it does not compile.

any suggestions?
