Hey there ,
I found this under the Object Map in the apple events reference
database for Filemaker Pro.
"The following are the objects the Print event will work with:
Windows
Documents
Databases"
"To use the Print event you must provide an alias to the object to be
printed. An alias is much like an object specifier, for example
"HD:Documents:Sales Report"."[this is only if the file is not open ]
So I suppose that documents refers to a fmp file on your hard drive .
If you want to print one record , you may have to do
Tell app "Filemaker Pro"
set the current record to record 5 of database "whatever.fp3"
print database "whatever.fp3"
end tell
then in the printer settings have a setting for FMPRo which only
prints the current record .
A bit of a pain really .
