Also, in Xcode compile and build: Developer -> Examples -> AppleScript Studie -> Daily Dilbert to confirm that your are not having a Franch/U.S. server access issue. Let us know how it goes. Ken set forDate to do shell script "date +%m/%d/%y" tell application "http://www.esynaps.com/WebServices/DailyDiblert.asmx" set mname to "DailyDilbertImagePath" set soapact to "http://tempuri.org/DailyDilbertImagePath" set namespace to "http://tempuri.org/" set params to {} set params to params & {|parameters|:forDate} set theURL to call soap {method name:mname, parameters:params, SOAPAction:soapact, method namespace uri:namespace} end tell do shell script ("curl -o /tmp/dilbert.jpg " & theURL) do shell script ("open /tmp/dilbert*.jpg")
