Hello,

I am having some problems using the remote AppleEvents feature of Mac OS X 10.1. In a wireless network when I try to compile a simple script like this:

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://10.0.1.1" to activate

The AppleScript editor ask me for the password of the remote machine, this O.K., and then throw an error telling me that the "dictionary of the application could not be found".

Any ideas on getting remote AppleEvents to work?

I think you need a 'using terms from' block. This tells AppleScript where on your machine to get the information it needs to compile the script, since it can't get that information over the network.

using terms from application <font color = red>"finder"</font>
tell application <font color = red>"finder"</font> of machine <font color = red>"eppc:<font color = brown>//<font color = blue>10.0</font>.<font color = blue>1.1</font>"</font> to activate</font>
end using terms from
</font>[/code]
Then again, I haven't tried remote scripting with 10.1 yet.

Thanks for the "using terms from" info. In fact that seemed to help a bit but now I got a -916 error when trying to use remote AppleEvents.

The script that return that error is:

set remote_Finder to application "Finder" of machine "eppc://10.0.1.1"

using terms from application "Finder"
tell remote_Finder to activate
end using terms from
