I've got a script that's called from the web. It has FileMaker printing to pdf, and then sending out an email. I've noticed that if FileMaker is in the background, the script goes on hold until FileMaker is put in the foreground. Is there anyway, within a script, to make FileMaker move to the foreground? (using FileMaker 6 and Mac OS X)

Thanks!

Hi Ljensen1,

Perform Applescript ( activate ) will do the trick.

Ernst.

Thank you!

This is strange behavior from modern application on modern OS.

In any case -- are you aware of problems with scripts triggered from web? Single threaded script engine in single threaded FM can give you big problems with performance and/or crash.
