Open recently added record in AppleScript

I have a rudimentary AppleScript that sends data from FMP to AddressBook (using Perform AppleScript/Calculated AppleScript):




Let ([

  _qt = Individual::Qmk;  //Quotation Marks

  _fn = _qt & Individual::name_first & _qt;

  _ln = _qt & Individual::name_last & _qt];



"tell application "Address Book"¶

  set newPerson to make new person with properties {first name:" & _fn & ", last name:" & _ln & "}" & ¶ &

 "save "addressbook" ¶



  set AddressBookId to id of newPerson¶

end tell¶



delay 1¶



tell application "FMPA 11" ¶

  set cell "AddressBookID" of current record to AddressBookID¶

end tell"



)

(There is another method that I discovered after I wrote the above: FMP to AB )

Now that the data is pushed I would like to open Address Book to that newly created record. I have tried this, without any luck.

It seems that there should be a way for AppleScript to leave FileMaker, go to Address Book and find the new record, though I don't know how to do it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
