Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I have no problems using the AS
"open" event in FMP, the problem only arises when the file resides on
a remote server and I need to access it via TCP/IP. In FMPro one
would use the "hosts" dialog and specify the IP address, but how is
this done in AS??
Pier.
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
open file "name.fp5" with password "password"
end tell
-- hcir

It seems like such a simple thing to do: a script that opens a FMPro
database residing on a remote server via TCP/IP.
I have tried things like
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
open ["Database.fp3 (10.10.10.10)"] with password ""
end tell
and
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
open file "10.10.10.10:Database.fp3" with password ""
> end tell
