Script error: Invalid method

I've written a script that verifies if certain applications or shortcuts exist on a user's machine. However, I keep getting the following error when I run my script.
Script error: invalid method/function call: missing ')'!
I don't see where it wants me to add another ')' I've even tried to add another set of () at both the start and end of the directory path, but I still get the same error.
I have other lines of code that are similar, but they verify if a folder exists and I get no problem. The only real diffrence between the lines checking for a folder and one checking for a shortcut is that the folder check points to \\$postes\c$\..... while the one for the shortcut as you can see below points to \\$postes\admin$\...
I've read in other postings that I may have to use the double $$, but I tried that and it still gives me the same error message.
Does anyone have any ideas?
This is what I see in my logfile :
code:
Script error: invalid method/function call: missing ')'!
IF EXIST ("\\$postes\admin$\profiles\all users\menu démarrer\programmes\dossier\appli.lnk") GOSUB APPLI ENDIF
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Holy Cow!!! You hit the nail right on the head. A little closer look at my script did show me that I was missing a " in a previous line. Thanks for that, but I have another problem that appears, now that I got by that one.
I have several GOSUBs depending on the existence of certain Folders or Links. However, one of them keeps telling me that the LABEL does not exist and returns a script error in my log file. I have checked, double checked and even triple checked to make sure the label exists. I even copied the name of the label to the gosub area and I still get the same error. I've renamed it and it keeps telling me it doesn't exist.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Ian

I checked for additional spaces already and I couldn't find any.
There are actually 12 different GOSUB routines, but I've included the last two, because all the others I tested give me the same error. ![[Mad]](images/icons/mad.gif)
code:
IF EXIST ("\\$postes\c$\Reuters") GOSUB KOBRA ENDIF
IF EXIST ("\\$postes\c$\database\glw483") GOSUB GL ENDIF
GOTO LES_INFOTXT
;
;********************************* Les GOSUBs *********************************
;
:GL
? "GL existe sur le poste "+$postes
RETURN
:KOBRA
? "Reuters existe sur le poste "+$postes
RETURN
;
;******************** Diffusion des informations collectioné ******************
;
:LES_INFOTXT
? "$user,$postes,$sp,$processor,$espace,$internet"
Thx again in advance,
Ian

Most "Label not found" errors are a result of a missing quote before the missing label.

If by missing a quote before the label you mean the :
I already checked if they all had one and they do. Any other ideas?

Dear,
To see which labels exist and who reference them see our tool kixref, which
you can find on our site.
For a quick view use the call kixref input.kix output.txt /warnings
With the kixstrip tool you can find indeed all kind of mistypings. Documenta-
tion is also available. The file kixstrip.pdf can be find on our site too.
For a fast way of cheking you code insert as first line
code:
GOTO checking_our_script
and add as last lines
code:
:checking_our_script
? "fast verification completed"
To see what is going wrong during execution you can use the kixstrip too.
With the call kixstrip input.kix output.kix /debug additional code will be inserted,
which will show during execution
- which lines were executed
- what was the error status
- how much time did it consume
etc.
greetings.
BTW: GOSUB and GOTO doesn't need quotations.
btw: symbol  on our homepage has been linked to related http://kixtart.org topic.
