i have an AppleScript that downloads and unpacks a text file that after that is supposed to be imported in a db file. when the AppleScript gets to the point where it has to interact with FileMaker i get this error:

application does not run in this environment

which environment? it works fine if i open it myself. this is the AppleScript:

set localFile to "projects:my:path:newDB"

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

activate

open localFile

do script "importDB"

end tell

any help appreciated.. thanks...

Maybe check if the type and creator for the text file. Could it be that it is trying to open a different application because of a wrong association?

Is the script failing when it tries to open localFile or when it tries to activate Filemaker Pro? Are running on OSX? Is this a script that used to run on OS9? It could be that the Applescript is trying to run the wrong version (or installation) of Filemaker.

working now... thanks.... it wasn't finding filemaker - now it does...

please read my other post under:
