In case it helps, here what we do and we get a quite reliable configuration:

- we install Smile on the remote machine,
- we use its "call remote port" feature which is authentication-free,
- and Smile sends commands to the local apps.

We have servers with a lot of apps running, and each one has what we call its "Smile for AppleEvents" that we use as a relay.

We surely first tried to use directly eppc with the app, like the OP says.

Hello,

I am attempting to use Applescripts to modify a remote Filemaker database from a local computer not running Filemaker.

I have my Applescripts working with a local version of Filemaker.

I know I need to send Apple Events such as «event FMPRGOTO» instead of "go to".

Where can I get a list of remote Apple Events that Filemaker will respond to?

I'm trying to get a command like this working on the remote server:

if field "Status" is equal to "ASSGND" then

Am I better off using a proxy Applescript on the remote system and first sending my variables to that?

Thanks,

Nick




Hi Nick,
FileMaker have a reference of all appale events and is located at
Application folder FileMaker Pro->English Extras -> Apple Events- >Apple Events Reference.fp7
If your FM copy is not English then inside a folder named “YourLanguage Extras”
