I am scripting address-book(AB) from within Filemaker pro. I am adding names, etc thru scripting. I have absolutely no problem when I run the script manually, but when a put it in a loop issues arise. It seems that AB takes a fair amount of time to save its "stuff" to disk and when the next iteration of the Ascript comes along it may miss it altogether or even erase all entries in AB.

I was wondering is anyone has had an experience with scripting AB and could comment

I could be wrong, although I think you should be looking to Filemaker as much as Address Book. Filemaker will not wait for commands to finish before moving on, so if something is slowing down through the loop, Filemaker will just move on to the next line in your script.. Without seeing the script it's hard to tell, although I think this is worth you checking out.
