Well I’m making progress. I decided to try using the clipboard to pass off the data to get around that weird error I was getting. I have gotten the dialog to successfuly write the data to the clipboard but surprisingly I’m having a problem getting the data from the clipboard in my compiled script. I tried set theString to contents of clipboard but that didn’t work and then I just tried set theString to clipboard and that didn’t work. I didn’t really expect that to work. Any Idea how to get string data from the clipboard?
I figured it out. set theString to the clipboard as string
