Since I have a workaround, I'm not in need. But I'd like to know what's going on. Has anyone else seen this behavior with any other AppleScript - i.e., it will run from the Editor but not as a saved script or app?
Usually, in my experience it's a case of it not actually running. There is a flag on AppleEvents (the messaging system underlying AppleScript saying where the message is coming from and apps can refuse requests from certain sources. I am a bit rusty on this since it's almost never implemented.
