Newbie here. How do I open a db and run a script

[GabrielM]

Hi,

I am not that familliar with Applescript and what it can do. I would like to open a database and then run a script within it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far I have managed the following:

tell application "FileMaker Developer"

open database "MyDatabase"

do script "MyScript"

end tell

When I try to run it I get:

Applescript error

FileMaker Developer got an error: Unable to coerce the data to the desired type.

Help!!!

Not open "database", but

open alias "the full path"

or

open file "the full path"

the full path, example : "Macintosh HD:Users:Me:Documents:FileMaker doc's:Mydatabase.fp7"
