FileMaker 7 introduces a new relational model for the FileMaker database. Introduction of this new relational model has required changes to the AppleScript support within FileMaker 7.
This reference document provides a quick guide for commonly used FileMaker 6 and FileMaker 7 AppleScript code snippets. Each code example includes a description, FileMaker 6 (and below) AppleScript example code, and FileMaker 7 example code. In some cases, these AppleScript code examples return a tab delimited formatted string of text, which makes it easier to process the results with other programs.
