Title: Re: Mount Current Users Folder as Disk
No, sorry, I wasn’t being very clear.

I need a path that exists on every OSX machine that I can use with FileMaker Pro 7.

FileMaker allows you to specify a path for exporting data or images etc.  But if the FileMaker file is on a server being accessed by various FM clients on different machines the export will fail because the paths aren’t the same on every machine.

So I found a script which lets me create a disk image called “FM_TEMP”.  Now I am working on creating an alias or symbolic link to the current users folder and put it the Disk Image.

So my path can always be something like.

FM_TEMP:Current User:Desktop


So I need to figure out how to make an alias or shortcut to the current users folder in my FM_TEMP disk image

Thanks

Todd

and later.) 'path to "cusr"' meaning the /Users/ folder goes back to the beginning; I can't recall what the 4-character string for current user folder might be, if any.
