I finally found it - it's the "exists" keyword. Makes sense once you
see it. 🙄
tell application "FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced"
with transaction -- prevents other Apple Events from talking to FMPro
while this xaction is running
set db_exists to database pw_db exists
if db_exists is false then
open filepath
delay 5
end if
...
I had written a loop that grabbed the name of each open database using
set db_name to name of database but that got progressively slower when more
db's were opened. Exists is fast no matter how many are open.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
