I need to tell FM pro to open a document name "doc1"
I also need to tell FM to sort data on a certain layout

Can anyone point me in the correct direction??

Hi Bob,

If "doc1" is a database/table, try this:

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
activate
go to database "doc1"
-- brings the named db to the front

do script FileMaker script "your sorting script"
-- go to layout, sort, etc.


end tell

If you'll be calling this from within FileMaker, you won't need the "tell" or "activate" statements.
