Greetings,
I've got it working without having to go for an outside applet.
Instead, I put the phone number into a global field via the
ScriptMaker script and then have the script:
[1] Copy the global field contents to the clipboard
[2] Capture the clipboard contents into an AppleScript variable
[3] Dial the phone with the variable.
It works.
I'll tinker around with it some more to see what else I can do. I'm
not a big fan of using the clipboard to transfer data in this manner.
Thanks,
Chuck

One of the problems I used to encounter with FMP6 and AppleScript
was that using the ScriptMaker Perform AppleScript call wouldn't
work well if I had to work with the FMP database making the call.
I'd have to build an applet that would reside outside of FMP and
have IT access the data in the FMP database.
Does that same problem continue in FMP9? If it does, is there a
work-around INSIDE of FMP9? Or would I still have to build an
applet to deal with the FMP database?
Chuck I regularly run some quite complex scripts from inside
FileMaker without a problem ... perhaps you were having problems
with some kind of circular reference? You shouldn't need to resort
to an external applet.
I'm happy for you to email me off list if you need more help with a
specific AS problem.
(btw ... are you on the AppleScript Users mailing list?)
