Happy Thanksgiving's Eve to you US subscribers...
I was wondering if anyone has noticed significant time/performance
distinctions between actually telling FileMaker Pro to perform an
AppleScript from its own environment vs. omitting the tell blocks.
For example, you can use either of these successfully within the "Perform
AppleScript" script step:
1) set cellValue of cell "fieldName" to "teststring"
2) tell app "FileMaker Pro" to tell database "dbname" to set cellValue of
cell "fieldName" of current record to "teststring"
Obviously, the former is less cumbersome but I'm wondering if there are ever
targeting conflicts. (And is the latter significantly slower in any cases or
does it ever engender self-conflicts?)
Thanks a million!
Jed
