Is it possible to AppleScript FileMaker Pro to open a file on a remote
server? The remote server is sharing the file via TCP/IP.
The syntax which seems to be suggested by the FileMaker documentation is:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
open file "TLO_Properties.fp5" of machine "10.0.0.1" with password
"my_password"
end tell
This only works for machines visible in the "hosts" dialog box. I found a
posting from Jimmy Jones (of FileMaker Inc) suggesting that what I'm trying
to do is not possible - but that dates from 1998 so things may have changed.
Any pointers?
TIA
Simon Forster
