I'm a bit rusty with Max, It's been a while.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong in this method of constructing an 'open' message for sfrecord~ ?

It doesn't like the way the path is specified.

sfrecord-open-syntax

It works for me. As long as there are no spaces in the path provided by 

[opendialog]. You should add quote around the string you construct, 

something like [sprintf open "%s%s%ld.aiff" aiff]

This is not related to sfrecord's open syntax, but to file pathes

It was indeed spaces in the path, the quotes fixed it.

It's annoying making the same mistakes I made 3 years ago ;)

You need to tosymbol the path, particularly if it includes blanks.

Something like this (new-style text format, use New From Clipboard)

Which promptly breaks as soon as there are no blanks in the path.

You should *not* use quote marks for this reason. Use tosymbol and it 

will work correctly no matter what you throw at it.
