I play an Apple script to backup my quicken account file to diskette. The file is getting large (about 1.1 meg). During the copying, a message is displayed "Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out". (Andy Rooney voice) Why is that?
How can I get my script to run to completion?

Applescript timeout means that it quit. It quits if it doesn't go to the next step in a certain amount of time. I don't think that certain amount of time can be changed, you are going to have to split it into 2 applescripts to run part before you copy and part after you copy.
