Malcolm;
I agree that global fields are my best option given that FileMaker
apparently forgot to update their AppleScript implementation to
support script parameters.
I was trying to write something generic enough that it would not
depend on the specifics of the destination FileMaker file (I even
have a routine to pick a script from the database, so the name of the
script does not need to be hard-coded). However, I guess this is not
possible, so I will have to require that a specific table and
specific field exists in every database that I need to run this
applescript on.

P.S. Good luck in your job search

I cannnot find the syntax for supplying a script parameter to a

I'm hoping that someone will tell me that this doesn't mean that this
capability does not exist (via AppleScript) in FileMaker 8.
You will find that global fields are fairly good locations for dumping
temporary data which can be picked up by the filemaker script that you
want to run.
