How do you get the contents of a cell? Mac OS 10.2.8

No errors here. FileMaker 7.0v2, OS X 10.3.4.

set listFrom to {}

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
tell table "test" of document 1
set listFrom to {cell "a", cell "b"} of every record
end tell
end tell

Make sure that FileMaker 6 isn't on your disc anywhere--AppleScript can pick up the wrong version (I ended up moving my v6 to a disk image and generally leaving it unmounted). Also make sure the cells you're reading are on the current layout. v7 changed in that you can't read or set 'hidden' cells via AppleScript anymore.

HTH.

No likely end could bring them loss, Or leave them happier than before. []
