Yay!
With this tip and others, I got it sorta working! Now to fine tune a bit.
Thx everyone who responded so quickly.

Hi Ken,
I'm new to AppleScript and have a simple little task I want to
automate for a friend.
I need to open a AppleWorks database file, search for an item in
the database and then of course display it.
Something like this:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
open file "Macintosh HD:Users:ken:Documents:My Database.cwk"
tell database of front document
hide every record
show every record whose value of field "Customer" contains "Tom"
end tell
end tell
This will eventually be driven from a Point of Sale system.
Sounds intriguing.
Can anyone point me to appropriate examples that could help me get
jump started?
Reply back to this forum (not me directly) if you need more info.
Is there a site or resource specific to AppleWorks scripting?
The only AppleScripting AppleWorks tutorial site I know of is here
(written by me):
http://www.tandb.com.au/applescript/tutorial/
It would be worth your while completing it before flying blind.
