Thank you

It would probably be a good idea to guard against restarting the computer
later on the same day on the first of a month and having the report go out a
second time.
property theMonth : ""
set today to (current date)
if day of today is 1 then
if month of today is not theMonth then
set theMonth to month of today
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
--open alias/database with the FMP script
do script FileMaker script "Name Here"
end tell
end if
end if
