New to filemaker, and applescript for that matter, here and I have run into a problem while trying to make sense of some of the old scripts. There is a problem with one of the applescripts within the fm scripts. I will paste the script below but basically it is looking for a folder on the users desktop and copying it to another drive and vice versa, this part seems to work fine. It seems to have a problem when a flag field in the database is set, using “set cell”, to indicate if the folder was found or not. I’m getting an “object not found” error. The odd thing is that we are upgrading from FM 5.5 to 11 and it works for the users using 5.5, but only gives me the error when setting up a testing environment using FM 11. Any help is greatly appreciated!

tell application "Finder

activate

if exists folder "1107CTCR0002MEHEP3" of folder "08" of folder "07July" of folder "2011" of disk "ProdTest" then move folder "1107CTCR0002MEHEP3" of folder "08" of folder "07July" of folder "2011" of disk "ProdTest" to folder "In Progress" with replacing

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advaned

activate

set cell "CRA on server nt found flag" of current record to 0

end tell

else

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"

activate

set cell "CRA on server nt found flag" of current record to 1

end tell

end if

if not (exists folder "1107CTCR0002MEHEP3" of folder "08" of folder "07July" of folder "2011" of disk "ProdTest") then

if exists folder "1107CTCR0002MEHEP3 " of folder "08" of folder "07July" of folder "2011" of disk "ProdTest" then

with replacing
