Hi Peter,

that didn't work, there is no difference if I try to open the filemaker db with filemaker or the finder.

@Malcolm: I have tried your advice, too. But filemaker or the finder didn't open the file. Then the Loop from your routine starts, but the time runs out without opening the file. After this my seconds script starts and produce the error.

Thx and regards,
Mirko

Hi,

with a Filemaker DB (Version 5.5) I would like to open other FM
files with a FilemakerScript that goes to an AS like this:

tell application "Finder"
open  file "xxxx"
end tell

After opening the file the same Filemaker DB should update some
cells with AS, but it does not work: the Filemaker DB xxxx is not
open (because it takes a few seconds). So the update runs into an
error. I tried to stopp the AS with delay oder the FilemakerScript
with wait Script, but it does not work. I put the two scripts into
the script editor and it works fine, but in filemaker it will not.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Mirko
