How's this-
Make a new FMP script
add a step to run an applescript
paste in script like this-
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists disk "fileserver") then
try
mount volume "afp://168.146.146.88/fileserver/" as "joeblow" with password "monkeysex"
end try
end if
end tell
Set the FMP script to run when the database opens.

Hi all,
This is my first post, so if I violate any policies I do apologize in advance.
I'm a FileMaker Developer, and I've only used AppleScript pre-OSX, and to
accomplish fairly simple tasks. I'm not sure if what I want to do is simple,
but I could not find anything in the archives. If I've missed a critical
thread, feel free to point me to it. :)
I have a FileMaker Pro solution that contains an image file that stores
references to images residing on a Windows 2003 file server. The client
environment is 90% MacOSX, 9% MacOS 9.2.2, and 1% Windows XP.
In order to view the images from FileMaker Pro 6 (soon to be 7), the image
server has to be mounted *prior* to the appropriate file (table) being opened.
Since this solution has a custom log-in system that executes a start-up script
upon successful entry of user name/password, I would like to add embed an
AppleScript that attempts to mount the Windows Server *prior* to opening the
correlating image file. I will try to attempt this on the Windows side using
DDE.
Is this something that can be done? If so, can anyone point me towards a
resource (paper or web) to help get me started?
Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to learning from all of
you gurus!
