Notice that the database remains in the background.

For a second I thought ... WOW! ... but then I realized that the database is not staying in the background. Also, this script wont run as-is since you must specify "filemaker script" after the "do script". I would really like to find a way to launch a script in a db without bringing it to the front.

Oh well ... here's a simpler way to write this:

tell application "Filemaker Pro 5"
do script filemaker script "NameofFileMakerScript" of database "name Of My Database"
end tell
