i want to count the number of records in address book using apple script.

[bruceR]

Here's a script to copy everybody's name into a FileMaker field.

Use field names and table names from your file of course.

try

set target_Cell to "zASResult"

set error_Cell to "zASError"

set target_table to "Array"

set applescript's text item delimiters to return

tell application "Address Book" to get name of every person

copy result as unicode text to cell target_cell of table target_table

on error errmsg number errnum

copy errnum to cell error_cell of table target_table

end try
