Frontier and InDesign

[Nick Cahill]

I've been having a related problem, having Frontier look up a record 
in a FileMaker database. It works sometimes, but inconsistently; 
sometimes Filemaker returns "record not found" when there is a 
record, sometimes either FileMaker simply quits on me. When it quits, 
I have to restart Filemaker, quit it normally, and then restart again 
to get AppleEvents to work again. For any kind of production 
environment this is obviously not workable.

I had problems with Frontier 8.05; the solution was the AppleEvents 
Beta (http://support.userland.com/osxAppleEventsBeta). That was 
somewhat flaky, too. Frontier 9 seems to work just as well as the 
AppleEvents Beta.

Can you send AppleEvents through Script Editor? Seems to work for me, 
but I haven't put it through anything like a real test. Does anybody 
know if this is a general 10.2 problem, or something specific to 
Frontier?
