Re: Filemaker waiting for AS

Hi Mirko,

Since the problem appears to be the time taken for the file to open and be ready to operate, why not set the script into two parts.  The first tells your files to open and run an applescript you write within the Filemaker database to complete the steps that you want to run after the file is open.  This will avoid the script running before Filemaker is ready:


Part 1
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
do script "XYZ"
end tell

Part 2
(set inside a Filemaker script "XYZ"
Perform Applescript ["XYZ Part 2"]

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
