Can anyone give me help with this please....

Hi

This script was written to copy a shared folder that is mounted on my desktop -

If I try it with a local folder it works perfectly, however when I it with the mounted folder I get this “Cfol Class Error”

I think it is to do with the path and aliases ? Any help would be appreciated.

tell application “Finder”
set the_date to current date
set the_year to year of the_date
set the_month to month of the_date
set the_day to day of the_date
set folder_name to “” & the_month & “-” & the_day & “-” & the_year
set destFolder to make new folder at “My Disk” with properties {name:folder_name}
duplicate folder “My folder” of desktop to destFolder
end tell

Thanks

Ian.

Try adding the word disk before “My Disk” (to make it a disk reference, otherwise, it’s just a string):

–Open this script in a new Script Editor window.

set the_date to current date
set folder_name to (“” & the_date’s month & “-” & the_date’s day & “-” & the_date’s year)
tell application “Finder”
set destFolder to make new folder at disk “My Disk” with properties {name:folder_name}
duplicate folder “My folder” of desktop to destFolder
end tell

Jon
