Hmm. The only differences in our setup is that I am using FMP 5.5 and
running on Mac OS X. Are you set up to use TCP/IP networking in your
FileMaker application preferences? That might make a difference. (I
am.) I'm assuming that the server has the database open and that you
have no trouble connecting to it remotely using the GUI. (This command
tells the client app to open the shared database, it doesn't tell the
server to open the database for sharing.) The password is for access to
the database, not the server.

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

This is a script I use to log into a database I use frequently:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
getURL "fmp5://email@hidden/MyDatabase.fp5"
set bounds of window 1 to {1, 44, 968, 655}
end tell
The last line is only necessary because the database owns by default
in a window that it too large for my screen.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a script to tell Filemaker on a local machine
to open a file hosted on our Filemaker server at start up. I am
using FileMaker Pro 6 in OS 9.2.2 on the local machine, and
Filemaker server 5.5 running on an OSX 10.2.6 machine. This is the
script that I have so far:
tell application "Filemaker Pro"
get remote URL "FMP5://OSX_Filemaker/Instrument Signout"
go to "Instrument Signout"
open "Instrument Signout"
[password]
end tell
I have managed to be successful enough to get it to open the
Filemaker server. After that it just sits there waiting, listing
all of the files hosted on the server. My ability to Applescript
is, not very good, to put it mildly. Can anyone perhaps give me a
push in the right direction?
Thank you in advance
Paul
