jsosa : Message: accessing field value in FileMaker 7

I upgraded to FileMakerPro 7.0 from version 5.5. The following is no
longer working to access the value of the field.

aName = fmp.database[dbName].table.current_record.cell["User ID"].valueOf();

The event log says:
"TypeError: fmp.database[dbName].current_record.cell has no properties"

Can anyone help?
