I just created a test file called BDEInterface.fp7 with a single database called DEntity and a field called folderPath. I then ran the above script as a Perform AppleScript. Worked fine.

OK, this is weird. I've been doing some experimenting. First I create a data file called "Testing.fp7", with one table "Testing" containing one field "Testing".

I create a second file "Test2". In the Define Database dialog, I switch to the relationship graph, which shows a single table occurrence. I double-click on it and link it to the Testing table in my data file. A layout is created automatically showing the single field. Next I create a script called AS, with a single step "Perform AppleScript" running the script code:

tell database "Test2.fp7"
set cell "Testing" of (current record) to "testing"
end tell

I check the "Include in menu" checkbox, enter browse mode, run the script, and it works!

Now I create a third file "Test3". I do everything exactly the same way with one exception: instead of linking the table occurrence that appears automatically upon creating the file to my data file, I add a new TO to the graph and link that one instead, and create the layout manually. (And of course I update the file name in the script code.) Now the script fails with "Write access denied. (Error -10006.)"!

Now, how the heck do I get the "set cell" syntax to work for other than the first table occurrence in a file?
