FMP wanting too much attention

[pchernoff]

FMP 6 running under Mac OS X 10.2 wants too much attention. If a script is running and it is printing and the print command is set to bypass the print dialog, FMP insists that it be the foremost application and will stop all activity until it is! This is a problem if you are looping through 400 records and each needs to be printed separately. This basically locks out the user from using her computer until this script has been completely processed. As far as I can tell, FMP pretty much ignores its environment and wants to act like it is the only application running at some times.

Is there some way to get FMP to continue printing without having to be the frontmost application in this circumstance?
