Does anyone have a way of pressing Filemaker script's continue button from within Applescript? I would like to make use of an FMP script already in our database which pauses and waits for some data entry. Once that data entry is provided, I would like the script to continue.


I'd suggest that you modify the script to loop over a short pause which tests for a condition, e.g.,

Loop
Exit loop if [ not isEmpty (dataField) ]
pause [ 0:0:5 ]
End Loop
