Timeouts with FileMaker 12 via Applescript


  • Subject: Timeouts with FileMaker 12 via Applescript

I am using code similar to:


tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to tell document "my document" to tell layout "my layout"
set n to count every record
set x to {cell "field1", cell "field2",......} of every record
end tell


Since upgrading to FileMaker 12, when the layout has a Found Set with a reasonable number of records (100-500) this sometimes responds instantly and sometimes locks up my FM client for many seconds or even minutes. The database is on a server, but the server is unaffected when accessed from another computer.

Some of the fields are in a related table, but it doesn't seem to matter whether this is specified with applescript (e.g. cell "table::fieldx") or as a calculation field in FileMaker (e.g. a calculation field with the value "table:fieldx").

Has anyone seen this behavior with FM12, and does anyone have a way to specify the applescript to avoid this?
