Hi all,

I did not really solve the problem I posted earlier today, but found another way to circumvent it (repeat instead of subroutine). Now I fail to manage this kind of command in FileMaker Pro 5.5:

if exists (record whose cell is string1) then
show (every record whose cell is string1)
end if

The middle line works perfectly well, but the very same restriction does not work with "exists". Why is that?

I find that the script works when you identify the cell.

tell application "Filemaker Pro"
tell database 1
if exists (every record whose cell "name" is "x") then
show (every record whose cell "name" is "x")
end if
end tell
end tell
