Sorry, but that doesn't work.

I said....

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
	
	set recID to ID of current record
		
	set cell "Title" of current record to "FUBAR"
	
end tell

And I got this error message....

FileMaker Pro Advanced got an error: Couldn't handle this command  
because it wasn't part of the current transaction.

P.S. I reported, erroneously, that I got a 'record' of all the fields  
in the current layout when I sent a call like, Set currRec to current  
record. It truth, I get a LIST of all the cells contents. Not a  
'record'.
