Events Error

Re: Events Error

After significant debugging what I've found is that the script works
fine if the 'ApacheConf.fp5' db is in the foreground (executed from
ScriptEditor) but fails if MainMenu.fp5 is in the foreground.
FileMaker seems to be requiring db in the foreground to execute 'create
new record'. This script, when executed from within the OG GUI creates
a new, empty, 'Event' record in OG, rather than a new record in
'ApacheConf.fp5'. I get the same behavior if I change 'tell window' to
'tell database' within FileMaker (note: tell database doesn't seem to
work from ScriptEditor).

the 'Object not found.' error is appearing when filemaker tries to 'go
to record newrecord' because 'newrecord' doesn't exist since 'create
new record' created a record in the wrong file.

I've tried entering various gross hacks like 'open file apacheConf'
where apacheConf is the path to the ApacheConf.fp5 file. This didn't
work. I also tried doing this, which didn't work with an odd error ('A
number can't got after this property')

tell window "ApacheConf.fp5" of application "FileMaker Pro"
set index 1
end tell

As I understand the FileMaker Pro AppleScript dictionary, you use 'set
index #' to reposition a window within the program. I could be wrong
there, but it looks that way to me.

Ideas?
