List of open databases

[jonesy17]

Anyone know if it's possible to pass a list of all open databases to a web page via CDML? I'd like to be able to view the status of FMPU and all open databases remotely via html. It seems like it should be possible but I can't find any reference here to anyone trying to do this before, but since IWP can show you all the open databses it seems CWP should be able to as well.

I could be wrong, though, because if it was possible then the web pages that come with the Web Security database would contain a drop-down list of databases to edit the permissions on and I wouldn't have to type in the database name every time!

Any helpful insight is apprciated.

CDML reference tool will get you the closes option:

================================================

Parameter(s)

First parameter (optional) Encoding. Use one of the following reserved words:

Raw - Don't perform any encoding

URL - Perform URL encoding

HTML - (default) Perform HTML encoding

Syntax example(s)

Returns the name of the current database, using an HTML file

You are viewing the [FMP-CurrentDatabase: HTML] database.

<!-- After processing it could look like:

You are viewing the Contact.fp5 database.

-->

=======================================

but the keyword is "viewing " so it might not apply to what u desire...or might

All the best!

You can retreive the list of open database with

FMPro?-dbnames

Thanks, omiossec. I had already found the CDMl reference Leb i Sol mentions above, but couldn't adapt it to what i wanted. I'm not sure "FMPro?-dbnames" is going to help me either, since all I get is a list of the open dbs all strung together (i.e. "db1database2base3anotherdbfifthDataBase")

Do you know if this result can be formatted somehow?
