How to launch an application (like "word" from a stack?

[Andre.Bisseret]

Bonjour,

If I put the following handler in the script of a button:

on mouseUp
    launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/"
    answer the result
end mouseUp

I get "no such program"

I was quite sure that I had have this working well before (Actually, I  
just replace 2004 with 2008 in an old handler which used to work)

I get the same result with rev 4.0 and rev 4.5 dp 3
Did not find any insight in the archives.

What am I missing?

Thanks a lot in advance

Best regards from Grenoble
