Set value of FileMaker container?


  • Subject: Set value of FileMaker container?
  • From: Paul Scandariato <email@hidden>

I'm trying to write an AppleScript that snags the current value of a field
in my FileMaker database, sends the value to another application to be
turned into an EPS barcode image, then places that barcode image in a
container field. This is what I have so far:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set n to get data cell "number" of current record
end tell

tell application "Barcode Producer"
set barcode to ISBN n -- returns a path to EPS file
end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
stuck here ->> set data cell "barcode" of current record to file (barcode)
end tell

I can't figure out how to convince FileMaker to accept a file reference as a
picture that can be placed in a container.

Thanks for any help.
