Re: How to launch an application (like "word" from a stack?
Ah! yes I understand now! My old handler was launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Microsoft Word" That used to work! Trying to use it again, as my current version of Office is 2008, I just replaced 2004 with 2008 which was not working (whence my first post on this subject).

Bonjour Peter, Le 18 juin 10 à 14:46, Peter Brigham MD a écrit : Hmm... On my system (MacBook, OSX 10.5.8, Rev Studio 4.0.0-gm-1, build 950) the following works fine: launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word" whereas launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app" does not work. I have the same system (Mac OSX 10.5.8) and Rev Enterprise 4.0-gm-1 (I tried also several other version: 2.8.1, 3.5 gm-1 and 4.5-dp-3) Always getting the inverse result (works with .app, doesn't work without .app) bizarre isn't it! In the Finder on my Mac, the MSWord application does not have the ".app" suffix, so I would have been surprised if using "/Microsoft Word.app" had worked, since it doesn't correspond to an identifiable file on my drive. Jacque is right (as usual ;-)): Using the recent suggestion from Bernd on this thread: --- select the file/application you want to address in the finder, command- C or copy it and paste it into the Rev field/script to get the full path pasted. --- I get the same path with the suffix ".app" in any case: either choosing "extensions hidden" or "shown" in the finder prefs. Now, seems unlikely it be a difference between Enterprise and Studio? Well, wait and see ;-)) Best regards André But you're correct that launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/" also works, though strictly speaking it should be ungrammatical in RevTalk.

Bonjour, If I put the following handler in the script of a button: on mouseUp launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/" answer the result end mouseUp I get "no such program" I was quite sure that I had have this working well before (Actually, I just replace 2004 with 2008 in an old handler which used to work) I get the same result with rev 4.0 and rev 4.5 dp 3 Did not find any insight in the archives. What am I missing?
