Did you try this yourself? From WITHIN FILEMAKER? In a ScriptMaker "perform applescript" step? It doesn't work. The fact that you used a tell application "FileMaker Pro" statement suggests that you are performing this action externally, from Script Editor or something. Tell statements are not necessary in FileMaker "perform applescript" script step.
