AppleWorks 6 error: Can't get every record of document "ElectroM (DB)"

Question

"count" is in ApleWorks 6 Dictionary and script got compiled OK !
What is wrong in that script ?
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
set numberRecords to count records of document "ElectroM (DB)"
set loopCount to 1
repeat until loopCount > numberRecords
copy cell "Qty" of record loopCount of document "ElectroM (DB)" to partCount
set cellName to "B" & ((loopCount + 3) as string)
set cell cellName of spreadsheet of document "Inventair (SS)" to partCount as string
set loopCount to loopCount + 1
end repeat
end tell
Does someone know why ?
Thanks in advance
Alain

Answer 1

Try using:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
set numberRecords to count records of document "ElectroM"
set loopCount to 1
repeat until loopCount > numberRecords
copy field "Qty" of record loopCount of document "ElectroM" to partCount
set cellName to "B" & ((loopCount + 3) as string)
set cell cellName of spreadsheet of document "Inventair" to partCount as string
set loopCount to loopCount + 1
end repeat
end tell
1. AppleWorks does not include the letters inside the parentheses when it refers to a document through AppleScript.
2. Cell can only be used in a spreadsheet; the field term needs to be used in a database.
