That works fine but only for a split second. When the script finishes
running it jumps back to the database from which the script was
initiated. I have the script inside the Filemaker Scriptmaker area, not
that I assume that makes any difference. The same problem occurs no
matter whether the "go to database" command is in the middle, end or
outside the
main "tell" part of the script. My full script is as follows:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set speciesCode to cell "Species Code" of the current record of document
"Species Database"
set myCombo to cell "Combo Name" of the current record of document
"Species Database"
set cell "Species Code" of the current record of document "Stock
Library" to speciesCode
set cell "Label 1" of the current record of document "Stock Library" to
myCombo
end tell
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
go to database "Stock Library"
end tell

Regards,
Kelvin.
