Filemaker and Ical

Hi Guys,

I’m trying to make a FMP database that uses Applescript to send information to Ical.

Did anyone have this kind of issue??

Can anyone give me a clue???

Thanx a lot

Hi Andre:

Based on some great help I got here, I created a FileMaker 6 file that makes events in iCal based on a FileMaker record. It can also find and show a previously created event, and optionally edit it. I can send it to you if you want. (It’s a little cheaper than FM Server Advanced…)
