Thank you very much but, i am quite old and a real novie in Applescipt
Shall I then cgange the script as such? or I am still missing someting?
I use the "untitled.tab" code for all documents as I export them from filemaker as "untiltled.tab" then import them back into the file where I add a "serial" field I need to confront various diffeerent filemaker files.
So this will be the the proper script?
