Title: FileMaker 8 AppleScript question....
I'm converting some scripts to FileMaker 8 and am having a bit of a problem with "create new record" when the layout is not visible.

With the sequence:

                tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to tell document "blah" to tell layout "blah"

(or a variety of variants using database, table etc.) I can read and write field contents to my heart contents.

But I can only create records when the layout is visible.

In this case the workaround was simple, I just made FileMaker navigate to the right layout, and added all the fields that I needed to it, but I was wondering if this is a real restriction or just that I'm not using the correct form of reference to a layout in order to create a record in it.
