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
