I copied a filemaker database "Data 13" and renamed it "Data 14" with all of it's scripts and layouts. I needed to change the name of the
database in the script to "Data 14".

Here is the script:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
   tell document "Data 14"
        set spotPath to cell "SPT_PTH" of current record
    end tell
end tell

tell application "QuarkXPress"
    set spotPath to spotPath as alias
    activate
    open spotPath use doc prefs yes
end tell

Now I keep getting this error: "Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier." on the word "use" in the script when I hit ok.

The script still works in the "Data 13" Database. Any help?

Thanks

Rob

 

What's in the SPT_PTH field? Could be a data problem.

What's in the SPT_PTH field? Could be a data problem.

It is just a field in the Filemaker database.

 I am updating a few applescripts and they all seem to be erroring out on the QuarkXPress Tell.

I assumed it was a field, and not a potato or something.

My question was: what data is in the field?

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
