Is there a way to open a FileMaker database remote (‘on distance’ - a Filemaker Database hosted on a local network with FileMaker Server) with AppleScript?
The way I do it is opening a local database which executes a script on open that only does two things.
opens the specific remote file then closes the local file
Cool! Why don’t I think of that myself …
Perfect, thanks!
From AppleScript you can use the getURL command for FileMaker:
getURL “FMP7://login:password@000.000.000.000/”
This will open a database hosted remotely with a given login, password, and IP address.
