John;
Yes, I'm grabbing the filename from the Finder, and then parsing it.
I figured that running text through AppleScript calculations would
eliminate the styles, but it obviously doesn't.
Setting just the property 'text' seems like a great idea, and seems
to have fixed my problem.
My FileMaker commands now look like:
set {text:cell "Document Title"} to Title
The styling of the field now remains what was specified in the database itself.
Thanks,
David Crowe
