Opening a shared FM database (was Re: A Script)

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
