Hey Folks

 

Im sure this is asked but I can't figure it out. I don't want to link a file in the data schema - I just want to open it from an existing file while in go

Created a button with single step, "Insert from URL Target:Selector::g_insertURL ; "fmp://Cleaners.fmp12" where g_insertURL is a global field and is on the layout.

Get error 5 Command Invalid

Thoughts?

If you want to open a file using the FMP URL scheme, you should be using the Open URL[] script step, not Insert from URL[]. See Example 4 here:

Note that there is no need for a field for this (unless you want to use a field to hold the path and/or the name of the file to open).
