Frontier and InDesign

[Jake Savin]

It's quite possible that lots of Carbon apps will be broken in regard  
to AppleEvents on 10.2.x. As far as I understand it, Apple made a  
change to the AppleEvents API which broke AppleEvents for Carbon based  
apps (in some circumstances). We addressed the problem in Radio 8.0.6  
(I think) and Frontier 9.0, but there may still be problems in other  
apps.

I suggest you send an email to the FileMaker tech support people and  
ask if this has been a problem, and whether they specifically  
tested/fixed/addressed AppleEvents support in 10.2.x.
