In a nutshell. I can grab a value from a repeating field in one FMP database
by converting the field into a list. I grab one of the items and set it to a
variable. I want to then go and see if a record with that variable9s value
exists in a specific field in another database.

I tried using: (all nested in FMP Tell Statement)

Set myVar to item 1 of opponentsList created from document 3schools2

If exists myVar of cell 3gameCheck2 of document 3Basketball2 then


-- document is the current found set
-- database is all records

tell database "Basketball"
show every record whose cell "gameCheck" is myVar
end tell
if (count records of document "Basketball") > 0 then ....
