Yesterday I encountered a rather strange situation with FileMaker Pro
where the application couldn't sort out what database was what. Two
databases were open and the need was to make a new record in each and
enter one value in the record made in the first one and half a dozen
values in new record made in the second, then repeat the process in
the next repeat through the loop (after a bit of image processing had
been done). But FileMaker Pro wasn't able to reliably target the
database by name. This construction
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
tell database "abc"
-- make the new record
-- do stuff 1
end
tell database "xyz"
-- make the new reocrd
-- do stuff 2
end
end tell
saw very strange results. Often both new records were being made in
database "xyz", sometimes it worked as expected, and sometimes both
new records were being made in database "abc". Sometimes it made both
records okay, but tried to put values in the wrong database (which
caused an error since there was no field for it). Changing the tell
target to window name or window indexes also didn't work. It just
seemed to be incapable of sorting out what it was working with. This
was with FileMaker Pro 6 on X (10.2.3). I'm wondering if anyone else
has seen this kind of thing with FileMaker Pro on X. Is this a known
bug?
