Can anyone tell me how I can tell Filemaker to start and open a specific file? Like to do this one a regular interval via cron for example. (the file is actually hosted on a filemaker server via fmnet)


AppleScript to open the file would be:

set fileURL to "FMP7://account:email@hidden/FileName"
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to getURL pmURL

You could save this as an applet and set a cron task or (depending on your situation) as a stay-open applet with an idle handler.

If you're using older than version 7, there's obviously no account name.
