Here's a handler and call to do it in FileMaker 4. It may work in 3. I don't
have 3 here to test it.


openFMPDatabase({databaseName:"databaseName",password:"password"})


on openFMPDatabase(parameters)
try
set databaseName to databaseName of parameters
on error
return false
end try
try
set password to password of parameters
on error
set password to "defaulPassword"
end try
----------
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
if not (exists window databaseName) then
activate
try
open databaseName with password password
on error
return false
end try
end if
end tell
return databaseName
end openFMPDatabase
