Help Needed: Quark error - duplicate file name

[xcheckr]

Hi all,

I’m having a bit of a problem with a script I converted from os9 (using Quark 4) to osX (using Quark 6). The script is designed to take information about locations and put them on a quark page, and match its correct locator map with the info. The problem is when I go to overwrite a file. (each page is set up as a separate document so if my customer says at the last minute that they have a new location or whatnot, that they want in, i can just redo that one page, as oppose to redoing/resupplying the printer with the whole book)

Here’s the part of my script where the job folders are defined:

set pathToShip to (choose folder with prompt "Please select folder of files to be shipped")
set pathToTemplate to pathToShip & "Templates:" as text
set pathToLocators to pathToShip & "Locators:" as text
set pathToSave to pathToShip & "Quark_Finals:" as text
set pathToMaps to pathToShip & "Maps:" as text
set pathToLargePics to pathToShip & "Pictures:Large:" as text
set pathToMediumPics to pathToShip & "Pictures:Medium:" as text
set pathToSmallPics to pathToShip & "Pictures:Small:" as text
set pathToTextFile to pathToShip & "TextFiles:" as text

from here various info is pulled from FileMaker databases and images are placed on a ‘template’ (not a file saved as a template; it’s basically an file with empty boxes).

At the end, all the unused boxes are deleted, and the file is saved:

set saveName to fileNumber & "_" & workName & ".qxd"
--fileNumber and workNamed defined by fmp
set pathToSaveFile to (pathToSave & saveName) as text
save in pathToSaveFile
close

and then continues on to the next page.

If the page its working on does not exist, it saves and moves on, but if that page DOES exist, I get the following error in AppleScript: “QuarkXPress got an error: Duplicate file name. some object”.

in os9, it saved over the file and moved on. So how can I get it to overwrite the file in osX?

Thanx,
Matt
