Title: FM 8 layout references w/applescript - works in one file,
Jeremy;

My experience with FileMaker 8 led me to understand that it was really important to include the "Window" object because FM 8 allows multiple windows to display the same table now.


My favorite technique is:

                tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to tell database theDatabase to tell table theTable
This accesses a table that might not even be visible in FileMaker. However, not everything works that way. When that's the case (or if I want to manipulate what's on the screen) I use something like:

                                tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to tell document theDocument to tell window theWindow to tell layout theLayout to delete record ID (item i of theInternalIDList)
