Assign a specified value from an AppleScript module to a cell within Filemaker Pro

[DPaquin]

Within FileMaker Pro I do have a "Perform AppleScript" function executing the following command (i.e. triggering the application CopytoUSB).

Perform AppleScript

tell

me

activate

set

s

to

display dialog

"Which appliation do you want to start?"

default answer

"CopytoUSB"

do shell

script

"open -a \""

& text returned

of

s &

"\""

end

tell

CopytoUSB

CopytoUSB

try

tell

application

"FileMaker Pro Advanced"

set

_CompID

to

cell

"CompID"

of

table

"Preferences"

set

_cardVolume

to

USBname

set

theRecord

to

current record

of

table

"Preferences"

tell

theRecord

set

cell

"vgCopytoUSB"

to

"Yes"

of

table

"Preferences"

end

tell

end

tell

end

try

The purpose of this function is to behave according to the information contained in cells _CompID and _cardVolume. In the meantime the program is to assign a value to the cell "vgCopytoUSB" of the table "Preferences". At this moment it should be "Yes".

Getting the values contained in cells _CompID and _cardVolume work like a charm. However, I cannot get the cell "vgCopytoUSB" to be initialise to "Yes".

Would someone have an idea why I cannot send a value to the field "vgCopytoUSB" ?

Regards!
