Hello People, I have a question about applescript & FileMaker Pro 6. I want to script a part of FMP that is not ordinarily scriptable--i.e. there are no commands for it in FMP's dictionary. I want to script the Export Records function, using GUI Scripting, via macos x's System Events. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work. Whenever I run the following script, Smile seems to go into a loop, or else is perhaps "locked'--my suspicion is that it is waiting for a return appleevent from the 'keystroke' command. tell application "FMP6" activate do menu menu item "Export Records…" of menu "File" end tell with timeout of 5 seconds tell application "System Events" keystroke "o" -- just a test end tell end timeout If I dismiss the "Export Records to File" dialog inside FMP, I then get a dialog from FMP saying "Before typing, press Tab, click in a field, or choose the New Record menu command." Smile then "unlocks"/loses its spinning pinwheel cursor. This makes me wonder if this is a legacy issue--i.e. a modal dialog from FMP6 that predates macos x? My question, then, is this: has anyone else had any luck in GUI Scripting the non-scriptable parts of FMP6? Cheers! Joe
