Thanks, Jon. I made the changes but it still gives the same error.
on db_status(db_name)
set the_status to "closed"
tell application "FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced"
try
if window db_name is visible then
set the_status to "visible"
else
set the_status to "hidden"
end if
end try
end tell
return the_status
end db_status
«script» doesn’t understand the “db_status” message.
I also noticed another error in ScriptDebugger's Event Log that says:
the AppleEvent was not handled by any handler (errAEEventNotHandled:-1708)
The strange thing is that if it's only called once, it's work fine.
