I want to solve is the following: based on some record in the table, I want to make a numbers file. There are two options I can do:

1. Search the records in FM and then with AppleScript make the file in numbers and fill in the fields of the records. Searching in FM is no problem, but with AppleScript I get always the whole table with all the records. My script is in that case:
AppleScript:
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
    tell current table
        set aantal to count records
        display dialog aantal
        repeat with i from 1 to aantal
            tell record i
                ......
            end tell
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell

2. The other way is, do the search Applescript en then sort the record I found. But my AppleScript doesn't do the sort, he gives error -1708.My script is in that case:
AppleScript:
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
    tell current table
        show (every record whose cell "Factuurnummer" = "2019-0-266")
        set aantal to count records
        display dialog aantal
        repeat with i from 1 to aantal
            tell record i
                ...
            end tell
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell


Can anyone help me, with either the first or the second problem?
