Thanks Malcolm,
I have used that script setup before. The problem I have is that I
would like the script to work on any Mac OS computer that accesses
the served file.
I am trying to achieve this:
1. Filemaker server runs a database with an internal printing script
on a remote computer.
2. A staff member calls that script which will print PDF files from
the data in the database, and the script identifies which mac on the
network has called for the print run and saves the PDF files to the
folder on the local computer.
When I try to identify the network address of the local computer that
I am working on using applescript to set the target address for the
PDF's, AS corrects the address to the local one.

Filemaker Pro Advanced.
The address needs to be changed as the computer accessing the
script is not the local computer and I keep getting it wrong. Can
anyone help me correctly address the script to refer to any
computer that accesses the script via Filemaker Server Advanced?
Look at standard Additions osax, you'll want to specify "user domain":
path to : Returns full path name to the folder or application
specified
[from system domain/local domain/network domain/user domain/
Classic domain] -- where to look for the indicated folder
[as type class] -- the type to return: alias or string (default
is alias)
[folder creation boolean] -- Create the folder if it doesn’t
exist? (default is true)
Result : alias -- the path name to the folder or application
specified
