Making a script to select the current record

[Warren Roberts]

Can someone tell me how to select the current record in a scritp?

Thanks,

Warren

I'm assuming that you just want to access data from the current record in your Applescript? If so then the syntax goes like this

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

tell database "MyFile.fp5"

-- Putting data into the database field

set cell "MyField" of current record to "this is sample data"

-- Getting data from the database field

set MyAppleScriptVariable to cell "MyField" of current record

end tell

end tell

In fact, I think the current record is the default, so you should be able to leave out the "of current record" part.

Hi Bob,

>>you should be able to leave out the "of current record" part.

If you don't specify the 'current record', the FIRST record of the found set will be changed.

Yes, I was thinking that after I posted.

This question doesn't make any sense. If it's the current record, it's the current record. it is already selected. What are you trying to do?
