Opening a Remote Filemaker Database.

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have tried all the remote scripts from the Applescript Dictionary and this forum.None work.
They only open the remote dialog box where I have to manually select the DB.
Could someone shed some light on this problem?

These are the scripts I have used.
get URL “FMP7://User:Password@000.000.000.000”
and
“[<][URL:]FMP7://[[username[]@]host]/filename[>]”

I did use a specific DB and network address but it just beings up the sme dialog.

lets say for example the remote computer hosting the DB’s is at “555.555.555.555” and the DB name is “Stupid DB”, what is the correct line to OPEN this DB. Not just get me to the dialog where I manually open the DB?

any help would be great. Also, I am using FMP8.5

This is what works for me:


getURL "FMP7://login:password@555.555.555.555/Stupid DB"

Only difference I see with yours is I use “getURL” as a single word, not two separate words.

Yes, that did it. Perfect!

thanks a bunch.
