Tell Database statement

Featured Replies

I am attempting to run a script that affects two databases, so to switch between them, I am running the script generally as follows

tell application "Filemaker Pro 5.5"

tell database "filenameA"

.....

end tell

tell database "filenameB"

....

end tell

end tell

The problem is, that it doesn't pick up the two databases! It will err out when I call for it to change a cell specific to one of the databases, and I'll go to filemaker and see that it's writing to whichever one happens to be on top. I tried putting an activate step in, although I don't imagine that should matter. I also tried running a script to return the name to me, then pasting that name right back into the script, just to make sure I was spelling it right. No help. Ideas?

Instead use

tell app "FileMaker Pro"

[what ever you want] of database "A"

[something else] of database "B"

end tell
