Thank you very much I found something and fiddled with it so I have
something that accomplishes my task!
Merci!

Hello Alisha,
Have you looked in the AppleScript folder that was installed with
Filemaker? It contains a database full of scripts and examples for
using appleScript with FMP.
For instance, you want to open each databas in turn and tell it to:
get field "f2"
then you want to save the result to a file. Think about the process
that you want to perform:
list every file in the folder
open every file
get the data
concatenate the result
write the result to file as tab separated
You can search the AppleScript archives. All of those questions have
been answered many times over. You'll find terrific examples of working
AppleScript code for all of them.
I want to open all the files in a particular folder and export the
field "f2" from all records into their own tab-separated text file so
that I can open it in a text editor and just see the contents of that
field.
How do I do this?
I am a total newbie!
