Re: Applescript Question

4 or 5 years ago I did a whole application in Applescript.

One thing I remember from it, was that in order
to setup the UI widgets I had to rotate through
the tabs to make the widget visible before I
could set it up.

Maybe you have the same problem.  Try opening the
window first, then set the tab.
