Hi David,
I gave it a shot, using my info, and it gives me an error of
"FileMaker Pro got an error: The event failed." The part that comes
back highlighted in blue in the script is: getURL
"fmp5://email@hidden/MyDatabase.fp5" I had to put the remote
back into the get URL, otherwise I receive an "Event not handled"
error. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm using a
10.2.255.255 number if that's any help for the server IP. Also, is the
password part for the filemaker pro server itself, or the specific
database?
Thank you
Paul

The last line is only necessary because the database owns by default
