I have this ages old script to transfer data to Filemaker, but since a while there seems to be a memory leak in Filemaker. When I let the example below run the memory goes only up and up. Until Filemaker crashes or there is an error message "-10001, Object or property is the wrong type".

property MainMailbox : "s iosdf asödf ,asdf."
property MainSubject : "sdf lasdkf asdlfkasdflk "
property MessageBody : "asd lkfasdfpäoaädö flsdf sadlfasdf ölasdfalksdf sdfköj asdflk asdfopapäe asödf asldkf asd asödf asdföäasöädfasdf"
property OriginatorFrom : "sdfl ksdf asldkfasldfkasldfk"

with timeout of 10000 seconds
repeat 10000 times
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
go to layout "all Fields Mail"
save
set myNewRecord to (create new record with data {MainMailbox, MainSubject, MessageBody, OriginatorFrom})
save
end tell
end repeat
end timeout

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? This problem occurs for both Filemaker 11 and 12. The memory in Filemaker is not reclaimed as it should be when a garbage collector runs. Have tried this, too, by adding a delay of 2 seconds after 10 records.

I'm also open to alternative solutions. Except ODBC which is a PITA to set up.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
