To make the command work, enclose commands in a "Finder" tell block.
Another answer is to use raw apple event codes.

OK, my 2 cents worth:

It's more efficient if we don't use the Finder, and we also don't have to worry if it's hung or busy. Surely any "readability" issue could be easily solved with a comment:


tell application "FileMaker Pro"

  -- «event rdwrread» is standard additions "read":
  set cell "FileContents" to «event rdwrread» alias theFilePath

end tell
