Bug in AppleScript command "get record at"?

Hi all…

How to open the root folder of a Database via “get record at” ?

I think:

get record at "/" in database "Eingang"

should reference it, but it returns missing value.

I also tried:

get record at "" in database "Eingang"

which also returns missing value.

I worked around it using

if grp is "/" then
	root of database db
else
	get record at grp in database db
end if
set root of viewer window 1 to result

which in my case needs an ugly if construct.

Is there a better way?

Best regards
Jens
