I agree with Wayne. Your problem will be in Filemaker. The trick is
to break your Filemaker script into individual scripts that call each
other, one step at a time so that each step is completed before the
next one begins. Also I often have to add a pause step (some
seconds) to ensure that Filemaker does not over-run the external
scripts that I call.

I am scripting address-book(AB) from within Filemaker pro. I am

"stuff" to disk and when the next iteration of the Ascript comes
along it may miss it altogether or even erase all entries in AB.
I was wondering is anyone has had an experience with scripting AB
and could comment

I could be wrong, although I think you should be looking to
Filemaker as much as Address Book. Filemaker will not wait for
commands to finish before moving on, so if something is slowing
down through the loop, Filemaker will just move on to the next line
in your script.. Without seeing the script it's hard to tell,
although I think this is worth you checking out.
