I can't remember how you paste from the clipboard in A/S. In the
past, I have used scripting additions to handle that.
Assuming you want something more portable, suppose you:
1) Created a small Filemaker script that did the paste. Call it,
say, PasteToVerses.
2) Change your "create new record" line to save the new record ID in
a variable:
set currec to (create new record)
3) Go to currec
4) do script PasteToVerses

G'day List,
I am a newbie when it comes to AppleScript. I can see the enormous
benefit to which it can be put but I find it totally frustrating trying
to work out how to use it.
The following script is indeed simple and works as far down as create
new record. However nothing I have tried after that works and I have
tried just about everything except obviously the correct thing. I would
really
appreciate someone's advice.
Thanks

tell application " FileMaker Pro" (*I am using FileMaker 5.0v3*)
open file "Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:TestDB"
activate "TestDB"
create new record
(*At this point I wish to paste from the clipboard into the Field
named
"Verses" of the Layout named "Main Fields" of the newly created record.
Can
someone please help point me in the right direction?*)
end tell
Thanks again.
