Oz;
What error are you getting? Is it from FileMaker or the Finder. I
modified it for my purposes, and it seemed to work fine.
set theKnownPath to "+In Basket+:NewName.pdf"
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to set the newName to cell "Source
Filename" of current record
tell application "Finder" to set the name of file theKnownPath to
newName & ".pdf"
I'm a little suspicious of the "-1" inside the name of the cell...
