Script to open a file from a field

[dkey]

This is an example of my path

/Volumes/SHOWDOW_2017/SYnch Tests/00 - 11072017/Video 11072017/DSC9197.MOV

How can I write a script to tell the finder to open the movie in QuicktimePro7?

Thanks

If you use MBS FileMaker Plugin, you can use Files.Launch function to open file with app.

Pass native path to file and application.

Thanks to both of you but both MBS and the suggested script don't work with my files

It seems as if I need to change the path to actually open the file .... and I am not experienced enough to do so
