Filename as a variable?

[AndyMac]

Hi I wonder if anyone can advise me about an import image query I have. I wish to import scanned images into a specific files container via a script but I don't want the user to have to search for the image. I wondered if it were possible to set the scanned file name as a variable such that it can be automatically plugged into the corresponding Filemaker records.

Mac or Windows? If Mac you can use Applescript. If Windows, I think there are a few macro utilities, plugins etc. that may do the job. But, there isn't anything within Filemaker itself that will do it directly.

Thanks Bob I'll go down the Applescript route

Cheers
