Icecold Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hi I am trying to send an apple event I can select the application I want to use. My next step is to open a file in my application (QuarkXPress) using a field I have specified in my database. I can open the same document by specify the file but I don't want to do that I want to specify my file from my field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobWeaver Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Just to clarify, jfmcel's solution uses Applescript, not Apple Events. I'm pretty sure that you can't dynamically select a document name from a field with Apple Events anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
