Subject: open file on another machine
I have a FileMaker Pro 5.5 file on a master machine. When the slave machine (connected by a crossover cable) boots up, this script runs:
property remoteDB : "FMP5://*/cmboxes.fp5"
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
get URL "FMP5://*/cmBoxes.fp5"
end tell
This all works fine with the master and the old slave, but the old slave is dying (noisily) and I have to transfer this over to an OSX box. When I run it, I get 'FileMaker Pro got an error: event not handled' and it kindly highlights the "FMP5://*/cmBoxes.fp5" bit. (I have no idea what the property line is in there for.) FileMaker 5.5 opens fine and the master is definately connected.
I just want the file cmBoxes.fp5 on the remote machine to open! This script was written a while ago and I'm too new with Applescript to understand what's going wrong.

Try changing your application preferences to use TCP/IP instead of AppleTalk, give your master machine a static IP address and use this line (assuming the IP address is 192.168.1.100):
getUrl "FMP5://192.168.1.100/cmBoxes.fp5"
