Hi,
In that case, you can write the script entirely independent of
Filemaker and test it from Script Editor.
I would have thought that you would not need to open the file to get
the modification date or the creation date of the file either.
tell application "Finder"
set myDoc to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Myself:Documents:Ankor Wat
reproduced at the Grand Palace,...kmz"
set modDate to the modification date of myDoc
set createDate to the creation date of myDoc
set allThis to "Creation Date " & createDate & "¬
Modification Date " & modDate
display dialog allThis
end tell

HI,
Instead of your answer, a few questions:
1. Are these files stored in the database, or is a reference to the
original file kept?
2. Do you import the files into the database using a script?
The reason I ask these questions is that you will have a different
answer based on the location of the original file.
A reference to the file leaves it in the original location on the
hard
drive. Storing the file in the database gives you a different
location for the copy of the file that is in the database.
Filemaker gives you the option of one, or the other methods of
storage.
Currently all the files are independent of Filemaker and all are
stored in a
directory:
file:///Volumes/myDrive/myFolder/
There is no 'FMP' reference (that would come from an FMP import)....
I simply created many records each with a file name title like:
My file 1.txt
My other file.txt
This name.doc
Etc....
So I have the path & I have the filename - but that's it for now
I hope that helps...
