Hello all. I have a quick question. We are running Filemaker Server at our office, and it’s currently serving three different databases. I’d like to set up a small AS that could either run at start-up or folks could click in their docks to launch the remote DBs. Following the syntax of the dictionary in Filemaker Pro, I wrote:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
get remote URL "FMP5://10.0.0.1/Contracts With Layouts"
end tell
Obviously, I’m not done- I’ll add a “try” statement or what have you so that if it’s not available the script can exit gracefully. The problem is, though, that the above yields the following result- the local copy of Filemaker Pro launches, opens a “remote host” window, selects and highlights the database “Contracts With Layouts” and then just sits there. I’ve tried adding “open “Contracts With Layouts”” to no avail. There are two buttons in this window, “Open” and “Cancel”, and “Open” is highlighted by default- I thought perhaps a line telling it to click the “Open” button might do the trick, but I’ve no idea what the syntax might be. Strangely, out of all the Applescripts they include with both Filemaker and Server, you’d think this would be a common request, but not one of them addresses it. I feel like I’m missing something very simple- anyone have any suggestions? TIA!
