Thank you for your suggestions. But I will tell you that it goes to the
right function because I put a breakpoint in the script editor and the
debugger opened up the right function. The parameters are not arrays, one of
them is the absolute path to a folder, and the other being a string of
filenames seperated by commas. I did get it to work, but i had to use the
value function. The way I was calling it before I used value was:

put functionname(tfolder,tfiles) into temp

And yes, tfolder and tfiles were set before calling it, those lines of
script didn't change when using the value function.
