Hi

I am trying to send an apple event I can select the application

I want to use. My next step is to open a file in my application (QuarkXPress)

using a field I have specified in my database.

I can open the same document by specify the file but I don't want

to do that I want to specify my file from my field.

Tell app "FileMaker Pro"

set theFile to cell "TheFullFilePath" of current record

end tell

set theApp to choose application

tell theApp

activate

open theFile

end tell

Just to clarify, jfmcel's solution uses Applescript, not Apple Events. I'm pretty sure that you can't dynamically select a document name from a field with Apple Events anyway.
