Thanks. It almost works with the full path name. If
FileMaker is not open when I run the script it opens
both OS 9 and OS X versions of FileMaker and then
seems to get confused about which app gets subsequent
events. (Similar, perhaps same, behavior whether
absolute path points to 9.x version or X version)
However, if I close the unwanted version and rerun the
script it seems to work. So I guess as a workaround I
can tell my clients that they have to open the proper
version of FileMaker manually before running the
script.
