Hi: Thanks. I was trying the below in my stack script, which I got from a Jacquie message on the list:
global gFP on appleEvent pClass, pID if pClass is "aevt" and pID is "odoc" then -- the file path is in the appleEvent data request appleEvent data put it into gFP -- open the file here put gFP into field "gFP" of card 1 else pass appleEvent end if end appleEvent But the standalone I build doesn't respond, and the field doesn't get populated.
