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.
Just a quick clarification to those unfamiliar with FileMaker 7 and 8...
The "table" you must reference in Applescript is actually the
Occurrence of the Table on the FileMaker Relationship Graph, not the
table itself. This is an important distinction as they can have
different names.
A table called "Contacts" may have it's only occurrence on the
relationship graph called "My Contacts" and if so you must reference
"My Contacts" not "Contacts".
Tell Table "My Contacts" bla bla
