I have been using Applescript within Filemaker and have been having
some problems. In Script Editor the following does just what it is
supposed to do.
tell app "Finder"
open folder "PDFfiles"
end tell
However, when I place it within Filemaker I get and error - something
to do with a handle. Anyone know why?
Filemaker prints a pdf file and places it in that folder. It is within
a loop so I need to e-mail that file and transfer it to another folder
before printing another pdf file into that folder..
What I want to do is to take that file within that folder and rename
it, e-mail it, and then transfer it to another folder. I thought I
should start with the script above (open folder) select the one file
within it, rename it with a paste (the name is on the clipboard from a
previous step in the Filemaker script) & .pdf and then e-mail it by
selecting the e-mail address out of the Filemaker data base. It appears
I have to use Outlook since that is what the boss wants to use, but I
am completely unfamiliar with it.
However, since the above script isn't working within Filemaker I am at
a loss of where to begin.
Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
