I have an set of AppleScript scripts that talk to a FileMaker server to get some data. "get cell" statements are used for this. In one of the scripts, I get an error from a "get cell" line:

get cell "Product Type" of record 4 of window "DB-Values"
--> error "Your access privileges do not allow this action." number -10004

This error is a actually a generic Apple event error message that is triggered anytime you try to enter data into a field that cannot be edited. (from http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4285/~/troubleshooting-filemaker-pro-apple-event-errors)

After the script throws this error, I go into filemaker and go to this window and I am able to read this value and edit it just fine. It is only from the script that this error occurs. There are many other calls into the DB like this in the script and they all work fine. However none of them are into this table/window (DB-Values) The server is running Snow Leopard and my machine is running Lion.
