applescript dictionaary

I have been running applescripts to configure Keynote from FileMaker Pro Advanced 17 for months. Now when I try it, I get "The Application has a corrupted dictionary". I can run a Keynote script from the Script Editor and it works. I tried deleting and reinstalling Keynoe.

Could it be that it is not Keynote, but FileMaker Pro that has a corrupted AppleScript dictionary? The AppleScript scripting definitions file is located within the Application itself and is read-only to all but the operating system itself.
