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.
I don't remember posting that, but I could have, it's a common handler that is used by a lot of people. I don't think you need the global variable though.
The handler should work, you should see a file path appear in the field named "gFP" when you drop a file onto the app icon in the Dock or in the Finder. (It won't work if you are dropping files onto the open stack window.)
You could add a temporary answer dialog to the "else" clause that would tell you if the event is being passed instead of handled. Or add an answer dialog before the "if" to see if the handler is running at all.
