set my_list to cell "InvoiceID" of (every record of table
"Invoices" whose cell "Status" is equal to "Open") fails if there
is one found record (displaying the characters of the found cell as
a list {"1","0","0"}) thing
Returning a list for the contents of one field would be normal if
InvoiceID is a repeating field (with 3 repetitions) but otherwise,
I'm not sure why you're getting that.
Can you think of any way to figure out the number of records in a
found set in a different fashion? If I can find out the number of
found records without dealing with the list command we were
discussing, I can probably work around this, but I don't know of
any other way.
To work with the found set you use the "document" object. So you can
say, for instance:
show (every record of table "Invoices" whose cell "Status" is equal
to "Open")
set num_found to count of records of document 1
or if it's just the number of records you want:
set num_found to count of records of (every record of table
"Invoices" whose cell "Status" is equal to "Open")
PS. If you need to, use document "windowname" instead of document 1
(which will address the found set of the frontmost window).
