Getting the value of a field within Perform Applescript

[DPaquin]

When running the script GetUSBKEYname (see down below) the program stops at the command line

set USBname to cell "vgUSBKEYTHENAME" of current Record

and display the following Error message Object not found Unknown Error : -1728

However, when going to Manage Database I can see the variable name vgUSBKEYTHENAME. Is there something else I must do to register a field for it to be found when calling it in Perform AppleScript.

THANKS in ADVANCE!

Commande: GetUSBKEYname

Set Variable [ $$USBKEYNAME; Value:100004 ]

Go to Layout [ “@Preferences” (Preferences) ]

Replace Field Contents [ Preferences::vgUSBKEYTHENAME; Replace with calculation: $$USBKEYNAME ] [ No dialog ]

Show Custom Dialog [ Title: "vgUSBKEYNAME"; Message: Preferences::vgUSBKEYTHENAME; Buttons: “OK” ]

Perform AppleScript [ Native AppleScript: set USBname to cell "vgUSBKEYTHENAME" of current Record

display dialog "USBKEY: " & USBname ]

In reading further in the forum, I've found the answer to my question.

Rather than writing set USBname to cell "vgUSBKEYTHENAME" of current Record

it is suggested to write set USBname to cell "vgUSBKEYTHENAME" of table "Preference"
