I don't know what you're trying to do but to copy some data from some cell

You can use just a simple variable inside your script to store the data
Set MyData to cell "NameOfCell" of database "DatabaseName' or similar
or you can use
Tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to" do menu menu item "Copy" of
menu "Edit"
I hope this help

Thank you, but I very much need to manipulate the GUI in this instance. It has nothing to do with getting data in or of FileMaker fields. Nor will using a "tell" block directed at FileMaker help, since in this instance FileMaker hasa dialog open which prevents from responding to any direct Apple Events


I need to access the GUI but so far this is proving difficult.
