Hi 
I'm using the following code but the part that checks if a file exists or not and it always returns true.
Please advise.
Also I'm having issues with using the exists keyword so I am not using that keyword.
Thanks in advance.

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
activate
tell database "Automator"
tell record 1
cell "Page Name"
--set abc to "hi"
set abc to cell "Page Name"
display dialog abc
end tell
end tell
end tell

set theFolder to (POSIX path of ("/Applications/eShox/" & abc))
try
get theFolder --file checking starts here...
return true
set abc to "true"
display dialog "Path exists!"
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
tell database "Automator"
tell record 1
set cell "temp" to abc
end tell
end tell
end tell
on error
display dialog "File does not exist creating new document!"
return false
set abc to "false"
display dialog "Path does not exist!"
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
tell database "Automator"
tell record 1
set cell "temp" to abc
end tell
end tell
end tell
end try

end


Warm Regards,
Ashwin Row
