As I said in one of your previous posts, you get the string in a text field with stringValue(). So try the following in place of the line above:

set theInfo to  textField1's stringValue() as text  & textField2's stringValue() as text & textField3's stringValue() as text

Please, and this goes for all of you out there, don’t write “so far this isn’t working” or “this doesn’t work” or other uninformative pleadings! If something isn’t working, you need to describe what is happening and post any error messages.

Hi,

aside of the terminology problems it’s generally recommended to keep ASOC code out of application tell blocks
