I can only assume this script was compiled under OSX. If you have any way

I hope that works. Sorry I couldn't be of better help. :>)

Thanks Ray!
No, I'm not using OS X (did you notice the problem was with Claris
Emailer :-)).
I tried ResEdit thanks to your tip, however it says that the file "is
damaged beyond repair". Well, that's a pretty draconian satatement :-).
And no, I wasn't using Script Debugger either.
I'm about half way through rewriting it at this point. Fortunately, I
used a lot of libraries of handlers and scripts so the rewrite is going
fairly quickly. As far as I can tell, it was using these that caused the
problem... aparently FileMaker has a problem opening a file if the open
is called from within another script... it throws off an "Apple Event
Timed Out" error which stalls the script, even surrounded by "try's" and
"with timeouts". I haven't resolved this completely yet, but when I do
I'll post what is going on to save some other poor soul the problem.
Steve
