I came across the same problem, and ugly way that i overcame that was
with this
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set x to {}
--repeat with the max number of databases filemaker can have open.
repeat with theDatabase from 1 to 50
if exists database theDatabase then
set end of x to database theDatabase
end if
end repeat
end tell
set y to count of x
FWIW, another method passed to me is:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set i to 1
repeat while exists window i
set i to i + 1
end repeat
return i - 1
end tell
I'm unconvinced that modifying a few hundred lines of AppleScript to
work around a bug which should be fixed in the near future is
worthwhile. I guess we'll see which happens first: a proper fix or my
patience cracking.
