This wont work because the Finder has no idea what to do with Filemaker Pro'cell' objects.

but it *does* work -- outside of filemaker pro. Just not when pasted into the FMP script.

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

I'm afraid that doesn't work either. i.e. -- I get the same transaction error when I try to run this script in FMP.

BTW, the transaction error goes away if I don't try to use the cell contents. e.g.

open location "http://www.google.com";

works fine.
