Title: Re: Remote FileMaker Database Access
Dana;

Well, it appears that this works for you, but it doesn't work for me. I get "event failed" if I use "FMP7:" and no action or errors if I used "fmnet:". I have tried with and without the angle brackets around the URL that the dictionary shows, and with and without the "URL:" prefix.

Regards,
   David Crowe

I believe getURL is what you're looking for.

                tell application "FileMaker Pro"
                        activate
                       
                        --opens database for MSSQL DSN
                        getURL "FMP7://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/Chart_production"

The following AppleScript code opens up a window in FileMaker Pro from which a remote database can be chosen, but does not open the specified file. The same behavior occurs when "FMP7:" is replaced by "fmnet:" or when ".fp7" is put on the end of the database filename.

Has anyone had success with the "get remote URL" command in the FileMaker dictionary?

- David Crowe

tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
             
activate
               get remote URL "FMP7://username@password:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/IFAST-Central"
end tell
