No. I've already gone over that, and explained exactly why it doesn't work.
Let me repeat:
The applescript "Find" command, when issued from an external source
(Facespan, applescript app, etc.) WILL cause the find to be performed.
FileMaker can send many applescript commands to itself, quite successfully.
But NOT the Find command. It only puts the target file in Find mode. The
applescript stops execution at that point.
