Creating records from outside FMP

[Radoy]

Does somebody knows how to create records from outside FileMaker on Win platforms? I know it's possible with AppleScript but how do you do this on Windows.

Winbatch. This is very similiar in concept to Applescript. I think that you can download it from www.wilsonware.com

Couldn't find it.

I am looking for some way to write my own statements (as in Apple script). My problem is that I don't have any idea what dictionary is used to talk to FMP.

In the ScriptMaker of the Windows version of FM I see two script steps "Send DDE execute" and "Send Message".They allow me to talk to other applications from FM but not the other way around(at least I don't how).

Thanks for the update. Can I use Visual Basic to call a script in FileMaker Pro ? How do I do that ?
