Er, what's "not true" - that you're forced to see FM Pro do its stuff when using AppleScript or that you need "activate" at the start of each script? I'm happy to believe the latter isn't required, but I don't think it helps since if this is left out I still see FM Pro screens flashing away. However, I'm fairly convinced of the former!

What happens if you start your script with:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
  hide

'hide' is not a supported AppleScript command for FileMaker. In fact I don't think it's an application command at all. The way I make FileMaker hide itself using AppleScript is by using the Finder instead as follows:

   tell application "Finder"
      set visible of application process "FileMaker" to false
   end tell
