Dave;
looking at it from your POV, I think your right. It's supposed to be a path, but I think I need to cast it and I don't remember how off the top of my head, right now.

I've added the 6 to the end of the name to make it different from of other versions as I need to run two different versions at the same time.
I get the error "FileMaker Pro6 got an error: the event failed"; anyone know either, what I'm doing wrong, or how to do this in a more correct manner?

I don't script Filemaker but it looks to me like you're telling it to open a text string ("Working:Documents:OpenIt.fp5"), not a file or document...
