Re: Forcing 'tell app' to use carbon, rather than classic app

The machine where I'm developing - and ultimately running - this AS App
has both Classic & OS X versions of some of the apps being driven via
AppleScript. For instance, I've got both the classic & - I assume -
carbonized versions of FileMaker Pro 5.5. I need to now have the 'tell
application' directive link to the carbonized FMP, as opposed to the
classic version, and I'm not sure how to direct the AS compiler in AS
Studio/PB to do that.

[...]

Can anyone offer a fix for this problem.

I don't know if this will be of any help, but in case you don't know, suppose your script has sorted out what the full path of the wanted application is, then I think that you can use the full path (instead of the app's name) as the parameter of "tell application".
