I'm curious about the server reference; there is some siginifiant possibilty
that this is a dangerouos setup.
Is the FileMaker application on the server? What is really happening here?
If you are running FileMaker Server then the path described above is likely
to lead to database damage. You should never be able to "see" a served file
in this way. And if you are not running FileMaker Server, then AFAIK it is
still the case that you should not be working this way, you should not open
a FileMaker file that is stored on a separate server drive in this way.
If the file is hosted by FileMaker Server, then the getURL style applescript
reference can be used:
GetURL "FMP5://passwword@serverIP/folder/Contacts.fp5"
