Because you have to be there. You have to go to the layout.

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
          tell database "NameOfDataBase.fp7"
                   go to layout "NameOfLayout"
                             show every record
          end tell
end tell

Try this:

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
	set visible of window 1 to false
	go to layout "Zips"
	set x1 to a reference to (every record of table "Zips" whose cell "City" = "Seattle")
	set x2 to a reference to (every record of table "Zips" whose cell "City" = "Portland")
	display dialog (count of x1) giving up after 2
       -- window is still hidden
	show x1
end tell

In this first script a record is an element of a layout, a layout is an element of a window and a window is an element of the application. Can’t see why this isn’t addressed correctly. Thanks…
