FileMaker Pro 12.0v3 - unable to launch or activate w/o open file dialog popping up

In FMP 12.0v2 I could launch FMP and open the desired DB with:

property GeneralEmailDB : alias "HD1:Users:J:Data:Mailing Lists DBs:MailingLists.fmp12"
property theDBsName : "MailingLists.fmp12"

tell application "FileMaker Pro" to activate 
delay 1

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
if not (exists database theDBsName) then
open GeneralEmailDB
end if
end tell

--Note. Trying launch instead of activate does the same thing

With FileMaker Pro 12.0v3, that call now opens an Open File dialog box that stops execution of the script. Thus far, the only work-around I've found is to call the Finder to launch the database. Hummm? That seems clunky to me.

Has anyone run into this?
