Broken Filemaker 11

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

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.
I have to modify a few scripts but they all error out on the QuarkXPress Tell.

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

Thanks

Hi Rob,

looks like there could be some problems with Quarks dictionary see this http://forums.quark.com/p/20737/83351.aspx

I had a problem compiling your code so I quit Quark and AppleScript Editor then relaunched Quark and then relaunched the AppleScript Editor, pasted your code into a new document and it compiled!

Hope this helps,
Nik
