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)
