Any Applescripts I create in FileMaker I always enclose any script
steps that aren't FileMaker specific in 'tell application "Finder"'.
Since you say the code runs fine in Script Editor, I bet this is the
problem.
Add a tell application"Finder" at the beginning and an end tell at the
end.

I have an AppleScript which I run from within FileMaker using the
[perform Applescript] script step. This script reads data from a text
file in chunks so my database can process it. The data file comes
from a piece of lab equipment that outputs a text file that is
gibberish -- no delimiters or intelligent formatting -- which is why I
need to parse it. I have considered switching to a plug-in, but I
have many users and don't want to hassle with the licensing issues.
I'm running FileMaker 6 on MacOSX - Panther.
This script used to work, but something has changed and I now get
errors (maybe Panther?). It does work fine if I run it in the
AppleScript Script Editor, but from within FileMaker I get the error.
