Hi all! I want to be able to have the script ask the user to choose from a list and after they choose from the list they would get another list to choose from. I would then use the values of their picks to move a file.

try
	set source_Folder to ("USERS:FileTransfer:")
	--set folderNames to name of folders of folder source_Folder
	set selec to choose from list folderNames with prompt "Choose file(s)"
end try
--Here is where I would like them to get another list to choose from
try
	
	set period_Folder to ("USERS:FileTransfer:" & selec)
	--set periodName to name of folders of folder period_Folder
	set Pselec to choose from list periodNames with prompt "Choose file(s)"
	--move oneFile to folder (period_Folder & Pselec & ":") replacing yes
	--Here is where I would use the results from both lists to move the file
end try

Thanks!
