I found this snippet on the net:
------------------------------------
tell application "System Events"
	set activeApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true
	return activeApp
end tell
--------------------------------------

Works fine in the AppleScript Editor, but I get "execution error" when DOing this in LC!?
Any hints appreciated!


Best

Klaus
