Problem with applescript

[ripit]

I am attempting my first applescript and have come across a problem. I am trying to create a folder and have that folder take on the name of the current date. Line follows

make new folder at folder "Customer" of folder "untitled folder" of folder "Desktop" of folder "marjutpoillucci" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:{theDate to current date}}

It makes the folder but will not put the date in as a name

help Please
Thank you

This worked for me:

set my_date to date string of (get current date)
set my_hours to hours of (get current date)
set my_minutes to minutes of (get current date)
set folder_name to my_date & "_" & my_hours & "h" & my_minutes
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new folder at folder "Customer" of folder "untitled folder" of folder "Desktop" of folder "marjutpoillucci" of folder "Users" of startup disk with properties {name:folder_name}
end tell


If you need advice from real good AppleScript geeks, go to Applescript and Scripting Resources @ MacScripter

Mac Scripter is a fantastic resource.
It helped me create an applescript that lets me use my filemaker job tracing system to automatically populate a quickbooks invoice.
The time saved is amazing and to think i did it once by hand.
