Applescript won't run with screensaver on

I have an applescript that does quite a few things, including the following:

  1. Using PERL script to read files
  2. Creating a txt document with the PERL results
  3. Setting fields in FileMaker Pro

Whenever I run the script, if my screensaver comes on, the script fails, but it’s not clear where it fails. I have other (smaller) scripts that run without a problem while the screensaver is on. Any idea what can trigger the error?

There’s no way I can let this script run without the screensaver! :confused: Help, please!

Thank you for your time!

Screensaver and Energy saver settings are separate. Are you sure the machine is not just going to sleep?

Yeah, it’s definitely not going to sleep… just plain old screensaver…
