tell application "FileMaker Pro/Developer"


  • Subject: tell application "FileMaker Pro/Developer"

I'm starting to upgrade from FileMaker Pro 5.5 to Developer 6 (and
I'm sure y'all don't care).

But, this breaks all the many places I say:

tell application "FileMaker Pro" -- which now has to be: tell
application "FileMaker Developer"

I'd like to say something like:

tell application id "FMP5" -- Because File Maker Pro/Developer
5/5.5/6 all have the same id

... but that doesn't seem to work.

And, I know if I put the name of the application in a variable and go:
tell application theApplicationName

it doesn't work well, because AppleScript likes to get the dictionary
at compile time, and can't figure it out in this case.

I'm sure someone has a nice solution to this problem and could save
me hours of struggles!
