Hallo Jay,
thank you for your answer. I tried similar scripts for example:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
tell database "addresses"
activate
show record 1
end tell
end tell
but i always get the same message: 'Filemaker Pro' got an error - object
not available.
And the line 'show record 1' is highlighted .
Does anybody know what happened. Under FM Pro 5.0 and OS 9.1 it was
working.
regards
Gerd

question, but I hope it helps!
