Your last few posts show that you haven't used the excellent
applescript reference that filemaker provides with every copy of FMP.
Locate the AppleScript reference database, in English Extras, in the
same folder as FMP and read it.

That might be a little bit uncharitable. When I started Applescripting
FileMaker Pro 4, that same Apple Events Database was there. It's been
modified a little as FileMaker has grown, but it is the same basic
layout. I started with that database and it still took me a long time
to figure out the GUI and non-GUI duality of FileMaker Applescripting.
There's no lack of charity in my assumption. I assume David hasn't seen
the documentation because I also assume he is smart enough to use it
effectively when he reads it.
The Filemaker Apple Events Reference database is up to date. It has
maps which show how all the FMP objects interact. It has tables which
display the properties of objects. It has a good description of objects
and events, which include examples. It has general articles which give
recommendations for best practice. It is an excellent starting point
for anyone scripting Filemaker.
