Opening a password protected file in Filemaker 7

Hello!
My only experience with Applescript is a script I put together a few years ago to open Filemaker 5.5 files and put in the password. My company has migrated to Filemaker 7, and of course my script doesn't work any more.

I found this in the library:

open: Open an object
    open  reference  -- The object to open
        [with passwords  string]  -- The password to use
        [for Accounts  string]  -- The account name

But I seem to be missing, (or misunderstanding?) something.

I have this:

tell application "Filemaker Pro"
    activate
    tell application "Filemaker Pro"
    open (choose file) with password "12345" for Accounts "Admin"
    end tell
end tell

but it won't compile, and I get this error message:
Expected “given”, “with”, “without”, other parameter name, etc. but found “.
(and the " just before the password number is highlighted).

I appreciate any help/advice you can offer!  thanks very much!

Sally
