Thanks a lot, David, it works. I had a typo (fp5 instead of fmp5) before.

Well, get remote URL is meant to behave that way. According to the
dictionary, it doesn't take a direct object. I don't know why getURL
wouldn't work for you. I haven't yet found a way to misuse it that
produces an "event not handled error". Other errors, yes. If it's any
consolation, Paul Thompson had the same problem with getURL about ten days
ago. I don't know why, it's worked for me for years.
I'm using FIleMaker Pro 5.5v1, in case its a version-specific error.

Thanks, but it didn't help so far:
getURL instead of "get remote URL" gives me "event not handled error",
when I tried
get remote URL "fmp5://email@hidden/MyDatabase.fp5" - it behaves
the same way as without explicit path. Still prompts me to choose the
file and supply password.
any other thoughts?

Try this:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
getURL "fmp5://email@hidden/MyDatabase.fp5"
end tell
substituting the correct IP address, password, and database name of course.

I wonder if anybody can help me with this.
I have an Applescript that first gets a remote URL via FileMaker Pro
client from FileMaker Server 5.5
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
set FMname to get remote URL
......
end tell
then uses the database name from that URL to process records.
the problem is that the Get Remote URl function puts up a dialog that a
User must then manually select the file in before anything else
continues. I would like to totally automate this.
How can I tell Filemaker Pro to directly open a specific known remote
URL directly instead of needing the User to choose it?
thanks
