Chap,

Down in your foo handler, you have:

> tell "Filemaker Pro"
> open file woof
> end tell

You need to add "application" before "FileMaker Pro."

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
open file woof
end tell

Also, just as an observation, this part:

launch application "FileMaker Pro"
tell application "Finder"
activate application "FileMaker Pro"
end tell

...can be replaced by:

tell application "FileMaker Pro" to activate

It could also be left out altogether in the script you posted because
FileMaker will open files in the background; it doesn't have to be
activated.

--Bill
