Dave;
RIGHT after the earlier reply I remembered that I needed a 'as alias' after the string. As usual you spend days thinking on a problem; and right after you post requesting help; the solution hits you in the head.


Sorry for the waisted time
Russell

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...
