AppleEvents and OS X 10.2

Dear all,
Has something changed with Apple Events and OS X 10.2? I upgraded to
10.2, and find that I can't get Frontier to talk reliably with
Filemaker. I'm trying to do the simplest lookup on a Filemaker Pro
database, something like:
with fileMaker, objectModel {
result = getData (record[cell["Archive"] == "1992.06.0234"])}
This keeps returning the most peculiar errors, such as
Can't call "getData" because the only script it contains is named ""
or
Can't find a sub-table named ""
or something to do with "because 'as' is not defined."
All these are generated by system.verbs.apps.Filemaker.getData failing.
Often it ends up crashing either Filemaker or Frontier.
Script Editor can do the find perfectly well -- with just "every
record whose cell "Archive" = "1992.06.0234." So the problem is not
with the OS or with Filemaker.
I'm using Filemaker 5.5, a newly reinstalled copy of Frontier 8.05,
on a clean installation of OS X 10.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What do you others do about
looking stuff up in external databases? Do you use Filemaker, and if
so, how?
Many thanks,
Nick Cahill
