GUI Scripting Issue

Hello,

I have been trying to use GUI scripting to manipulate some dialogs but I can't get it to work.

This is the script

activate application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
click menu item "Copy" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
--> The result is that the applescript times out waiting for FileMaker to activate.


Is there some way other then "Activate application" that will bring FileMaker to the front so system events can act on it?

Thanks

Todd
