Either use full pathnames:

tell application "HD:Applications:Filemaker Pro"

or include ".app" to identify the OS X version:

tell application "Filemaker Pro.app"

The latter version may (for some reason I don't understand) compile to the
shortened name of the application (without the .app extension), but it still
works.
