I have an AppleScript that copies email data to a FileMaker db. When the script finishes it leaves FileMaker as the frontmost application, but the database window is not the object of focus. In order to interact with FileMaker at all requires the user to click on the db window to return focus to it. (FileMaker won't even respond to Command-Q until focus is returned to the window).
The script is an external AppleScript that is run from within FMP using "run script"
The end of the FileMaker part of the script tells FileMaker to show the layout I wantÂ
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
go to layout "Main Menu" of database DBsName
end tell
The final line of the script makes certain the display dialog step is frontmost.
tell me to activate
tell me to display dialog "Done" buttons {"*"} giving up after 5
At the end, FileMaker shows as the front application, but the db window title bar is grayed out requiring a click to shift focus to the window.
Any thoughts on how to get focus back to the FileMaker window?
Joe
