Very through explanation barhar, however, I still am having trouble with the script. I am getting (which has been what I've always been getting) an error that says that FileMaker Pro could not find object. Then this is highlighted: every cell of document 1 whose name is firstNameCell Now, I...

One of the first things I realized barhar was the difference in the code, and how I would have to change it to fit my file/misc. locations. The first name and e-mail fields are defined as "GEN.FNAME" and "GEN.EMAIL", respectively. They have been in the property line since you first coded it...

Well, I was able to manage scripting a filter for the problem I stated above. The code: show (every record whose cell "GEN.LASTACCESS" is less than "5/1/2006" and cell "Gen.EMAIL" is "*") This now cuts the 19,000 records to a mere 6,400. All thats left is fixing the cell values, getting...

On another note, I just realized one more kink in this wheel of a problem I've been trying to solve. I forgot to mention that this database holds around approximately 19,000 contacts. I then perform a simple search query to filter out contacts that have been in the database before 5/1/2006, and...

Again barhar, your solutions are working! However, I am finding out more and more complications...so, if this thread is still active, I have a couple more things to take care of, but I feel if anybody else, you or even me find a solution to have this script run smoothly, it could be a great...

I can't thank you enough for actually writing the whole script! After I changed some of those paths, or " ", and compiled and ran it, it gave me two errors. The first one, FileMaker Pro error "apple events or macinosh systems error -35" Now, I think it's because I'm not correctly typing the...

Thanks for the fast response/help barhar! Here are the answers to your questions: 1) Mac OS X 10.4.11 2) The e-mail address are in FileMaker Pro (v8.5); its in a database along with other info (phone, address, etc.) so the e-mail is a specific entry field. 3) The first name is the same as the...

First time poster and such, not to mention newbie to automator and applescripts. I never before thought I would be able to use them, but after encountering FileMaker Pro(v8.5), I thought it would be a lot easier to have an automated script do the work for me. The following is what I hope is...
