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.
Layouts are used to display records. Records belong to tables. Tell the
table to make a new record.
