Debugging Intermittent Client Errors -1728

[slinky66]

All,

On one of our Filemaker Server 10 databases, a user has been getting intermittent errors when running a script, attached to a button:

Unkown Error: -1728

Based on what I've learned from the user, the error happens right before a "show layout" command. (see below). I am suspecting the "set theInventoryID" command that executes right before the error:

set theDatabaseName to "F&B POs"

set theCellName to "Product ID"

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

set theInventoryID to contents of cell "ID" of current record

tell database theDatabaseName

-- -1728 error happens here!!

show layout "Inventory - All Quantities"

show every record

...

What's the best practice in FM to bullet-proof against that?

Something like?

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

try

set theInventoryID to contents of cell "ID" of current record

on error

display dialog ("Make sure all inventory ids are valid")

end try

tell database theDatabaseName

-- -1728 error happens here

show layout "Inventory - All Quantities"

show every record

...

Thanks!
