Er, what's not true - that you're forced to see FM Pro do its
stuff when using AppleScript or that you need activate at the
start of each script? I'm happy to believe the latter isn't
required, but I don't think it helps since if this is left out I
still see FM Pro screens flashing away.

I used to use FMkr to export data called by Applescripts, but user interface
was no concern since this was a server.
Does the FMkr database have to be on the same Mac? Being frontmost will not
be an issue in that case.
I don't think you can AppleScript an app on another Mac, I think it

Just did a few simple tests, yes it can be scripted while minimized. There
were a few things I had to do when scripting a hidden window that I do not
have to do when scripting a minimized window, so this looks like a good
technique.

you are correct about the 'server'.. it was a headless client that fed data
and processed reports for the office, running a FMkr client app.
Applescript coordinated the email, web, FMkr, Excel, and Word apps to
produce an integrated solution without regard to screen flashing and user
interface.
google applescript remote a bunch of links, some rather old.
'Tell' blocks can accept URLs in the 'machine' parameter, allowing
AppleScript control of remote applications via TCP/IP as of OS 9 in Nov '99
You can run a remote Applescript in Terminal
Check out the 'osascript' shell command.

You can also run it in the Script Editor and from Rev; you just need to make
sure you have Remote Events turned on in the Sharing control panel (I
believe), and then include the IP address with

Sorry about the mislead on XML -- my FileMaker Pro experience with
7/8 is only just starting. You could do it with FileMaker 5.5 ;-)

I use AppleScript to send hide yourself to FM Pro whenever
possible, but this doesn't help when I'm trying to access the
database since I have to start my AppleScripts with 'activate'.

there's an awful lot of screen flashing going on - i.e. every time

You could use the built-in web interfaces. I believe FileMaker can
supply HTML or XML. This has the advantage of being silent as you
say, and cross-platform.

With v7 FileMaker Pro standard edition no longer supports HTML/XML
nor the older CDML. You have to buy one of the
