Can someone please tell me WHY this script does not work in panther, yet works fine in Tiger???
Everything works fine except for the “if companyinfo is true” section… It says “No Result was returned from some part of this expression”… and if I change the syntax to read:
if (first name of theNames) as string ≠missing value then
set firstname to (first name of theNames)
set hasfirstname to true
else
set firstname to “”
set hasfirstname to false
end if
then I get “firstname is not defined” !!!
Both of these ways work perfectly fine in tiger… someone please help me with this nonsense!
