This wont work because the Finder has no idea what to do with Filemaker Pro
'cell' objects.
In Filemaker, 'cells' are more than string objects. They have numerous
properties as you can see when you read Filemaker's dictionary.
To fix the problem you need to get the cellValue of the cell and open that:
tell application "Filemaker Pro"
set foo to cellvalue of cell "MS KB number"
open location "
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbod="; & foo
end tell
(Note: since 'open location' is a standard addition, you don't need to
involve the Finder at all.
