Ok, I believe I have all of the fileamaker script steps.
I set the filepath field from applescript in FMP8. Next set the filemaker
pro variable. Then do the insert picture with the variable name in the file
path part of the insert picture dialog.
What format does import picture need for the file path?
I tried posix path, and "hard drive:file name" format
Any ideas?
