Is it possible that 'cell "Page Name"' is sometimes not on your current layout?

I believe the above will fail if the field is not present on your current layout. Try instead using the table object.

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
 tell table "Automator" of database "Automator"
  set abc to cell "Page Name"
 end tell
end tell
