Thank you, but I very much need to manipulate the GUI in this

responding to any direct Apple Events
Have you tried pushing FileMaker to the front via System Events, Todd?
----------------
tell application "System Events"
tell process "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
set frontmost to true
-- etc...
end tell
end tell

I think that's the way to go to get FMP frontmost but your chances of
doing anything with the dialog are about 3:1 against. You'll be able to
do some things in some dialogs. If you are trying to manipulate the
"define fields" dialog - forget it. It's cheaper to set up a windows
box and use FMRobot to do that stuff.
