filemaker open url

I'm attempting to script a button in FileMaker Pro 3 to open a URL,
with the URL text depending on the contents of the cell "MS KB number".

The following works from Script Editor:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
go to database "patches"
set foo to {cell "MS KB number"}
tell application "Finder" to open location "http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid="; & foo
end tell

But in FileMaker I get a transaction error. I googled that, and came up with this "fix":

with transaction
set foo to {cell "MS KB number"}
end
tell application "Finder" to open location "http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid="; & foo

but I still get the error. How do I get this to work?

Thanks
