Cannot find the object

[DPaquin]

I have a cell named "BurnDVD_the_list" in a table named "@Preferences"

 

SCRIPT

Set Variable [$$the_list]; Value:"01020804"]

Go to Layout ["@Preferences" (Preferences)]

Replace Field Contents [No dialog; Preferences::BurnDVD_the_list"; $$the_list]

Perform AppleScript ["display dialog"bSET"  "set FMPrec to cell "BurnDVD_the_list" of current record  "display dialog"bSET"....]

 

RESULT

• the variable $$the_list is set to "01020804"
• the field BurnDVD_the_list is set to "01020804"
• a dialog box appear showing "bSET"
• en error cannot find the object is displayed, I click OK an unknown error : -1728 is displayed
• the dialog box "aSET" is never displayed

The error is then at the command line "set FMPrec to cell "BurnDVD_the_list" of current record

 

Could someone tell me what am I getting this error?

Why I cannot get the value of a cell within a "Perform AppleScript" ?

 

 

Many thanks!

Daniel

Please post an exact copy of your script (do a print preview and copy it from there). Seeing the exact error message/s you get would also help.

Here it is:

 

The FileMaker Pro error message I am getting is "Object not found"

I click OK and I get "Unknown Error: -1728.

It sounds like the field BurnDVD_the_list is not on the current layout?

Thanks Comment, problem solved. I had two layouts with almost the same name (do not know why).

I change the layout name and everything is now working.

With regards!
