this is inaccurate - apple script will prompt with a selection window if it can't find the app

you should change the order of these elements:

tell application "CodeWarrior IDE 4.0" #<---- here you select the app
display dialog "here2"	 #<-----you tell it to do something
activate  		#<-----then you activate it

this is like asking a question and then phoning the person you wanted to ask expecting the answer, which of course they can't give cos they didn't hear the question.


try this:
tell application "CodeWarrior IDE 4.0" #<---- here you select the app
activate  		#<-----you activate it
display dialog "here2" 	#<-----then  you tell it to do something
