You could add a global numeric field to your database and have the AppleScript change the value. The FileMaker script could keep checking this field until it changes whereupon it continues executing its own script.

Hope this helps.

Hi everybody,
I run into a problem when using scripting in File Maker and AppleScript
together. Here is an example:

Let's say, I have two FMP scripts: "Print" and "Control".

"Print" script has a single step Print[] - it prints something.
"Control" has a single step:

Perform AppleScript [

display dialog "Before calling Print script"
tell application "File Maker Pro"
do script "Print"
end tell
display dialog "After calling Print scrip"
]


That's what I experience: I see "Before calling Print script" message, press
OK, little pause, then I read "After calling Print script" message, press
OK, and only after that I get dialog boxes for printing.

How can I make sure that the "Print" script has completed all its tasks
before the following steps in the "Control" script are executed?

Thank you, Andrei
