Thanks!,

Any way I can only execute it if it's not already running and open?  My thoughts were to have this running in a cron script every so often so that if the user accidently closed the file or filemaker, it would reopen.  Otherwise filemaker would just activate as foreground application even if it is running and get pretty annoying for the user. ;)  

So logically

if NOT filemaker pro running and filename open

 set fileURL to "FMP7://account:email@hidden/FileName"
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to getURL fileURL

else exit

I call that from a cron script every few minutes to make sure it stays up.
