AppleScript Inquiry
Lee,
Apologies in advance for our lack of experience in this area, but we tried what you suggested and 5 variations of the original script without success (see actual scripts below):
Script 1 - Entourage launches successfully, but no new message is created
Script 2 - Entourage launches successfully, but script error pops up "The variable pathToFile is not defined"
Script 3 - script does not even launch
Script 4 - Entourage launches successfully, but no new message is created
Script 5 - script does not even launch
Again, this is a photo program where we select one or a number of images and then press the email option. At this point, the script should start by opening Entourage and attaching the image(s) to a blank email; the script should then end and allow the user to add text, title, recipient, send the message.
We are seeking further guidance. Thank you.
