I am using an i-MAC with OS 10.5.6

I am trying to save a stack using save stack as [filePath] and am getting nowhere. I want to save the stack to my Desktop, or if it is possible, to a DVD-RW disc.

As background, I have created an application named "Recipe Book" in which the user can type her recipes on a form page; When she clicks the INSTALL button, the information is placed on a formatted recipe page. The page looks nice. It has buttons at the bottom for HOME, PRINT and SAVE. The PRINT and HOME buttons work, but I can't get the script right for the SAVE button.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks

Bruce,

Did you ever get this working? From what you posted it looks fine, although you didn't show your actual code. The only reason I can think of why it wouldn't save to a particular place is that you don't have write permission. In this case it will fail silently, but you can capture the error with the result function.
As a side note, you might find the specialFolderPath function useful for quickly designating platform-appropriate folders for various purposes, e.g., Desktop, Preferences, etc.

Regards,
Devin
