scripts examples.
If you want to switch to FMP for cross-platform use, then you won't
want to use AppleScript with FMP (as that part of your databases will
only work with Macs) and so this list won't get you very far.
that's not true. If the person using Filemaker is sitting at a Mac
they can use Applescripts. Filemaker runs on the client computer so
you simply test the environment to see which platform is running or
which computer you're on then run scripts accordingly. You can host
the files from a Windows box if you want. I've written plenty of
scripts do this.

run the job

if (status currentusername = webby )
run the job
