May not be relevent, but I get more more consistent results using:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
create new record with data {var70, var71, var72} at database "MAIL
TEST.fp5" -- watch the line wrap!
end tell
Using "tell document" or "tell database" has no effect -- FMPro always adds
the new record to the frontmost database. OK if there is only one DB open,
but frequently causes errors otherwise. Far better to explicitly state where
you want the record to be created.
