1. Why use Applescript for something that Filemaker can do simply and
natively?

2. In general is best to avoid copy/paste. Leave the user's clipboard data
undisturbed. You can use set field.

3. Try "get data"

Get data cell "Archive Info::DocumentID" of record 1 of layout "Issues" of
document "MyDoc"
Set myID to result
