What's wrong with this line of code...

[James Sentman]

Ah good, you changed it to OR. 

I am sitting here trying to think how the time of the current date can be both before 1AM AND after 9AM :) 

you can make it even simpler to read, at least I think so, by using the date() cast like this:

if current date ≤ date( “1:00am”) or current date ≥ date( “9:00am”) then

when you do it like that it creates a date on the same day as the moment the script is run, but with the time set to that time. You can use any time format that AppleScript can parse, it should be able to parse any string that is the same as the system date layout format.

you MUST use the ()’s when you cast to a date like that or applescript will “compile” the date string into a full date and hard code the today part. which is not what you want in something like this.
