    <p>Two things here - firstly, you need to have checked the "<code>Enable access for assistive devices</code>" in <code>System Preferences / Universal Access / Mouse &amp; Trackpad</code>. Obviously you've already done this, otherwise the script wouldn't get to where it is without already failing, but it's an important step for anyone else trying to get this working.</p> <p>Secondly, the problem with the line you were receiving the error on was that you weren't telling the AppleScript where to find the slider you were wanting to change the value of. By changing the line to the following, the script started working:</p> <pre><code>set value of slider "Tracking Speed" of window "Mouse" to trackingValue </code></pre> <p>Note that as well as naming the window to be used by the AppleScript I have also named the slider to be used as well. Whilst running Snow Leopard and using "slider 1", the second slider in the window "Scrolling Speed" was being altered. So, by using the name of the slider rather than its number we bypass any possible indexing issues. As for working out the name of the slider? I simply tried using the value of the label that went with it, which worked in this instance. Your mileage may vary, of course.</p> <p>Thus, the final script becomes:</p> <pre><code>set trackingValue to 5 --Open and activate System Preferences tell application "System Preferences" to activate --Attempt to change settings using System Events tell application "System Events" tell process "System Preferences" try --Open the "Keyboard &amp; Mouse" pane click menu item "Mouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 delay 2 set value of slider "Tracking Speed" of window "Mouse" to trackingValue --end tell on error theError --An error occured display dialog ("Sorry, an error occured while altering Keyboard and Mouse settings:" &amp; return &amp; theError) buttons "OK" default button "OK" end try end tell end tell </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
