open file with a specified program

[meteor]

Hi there~

I am using FMP5 with PaperPort4.0 I want to create a field that contain the path of some paperport data so that when user click the view button, PaperPort will run.

However, the file of paperport4 has many different extensions such as .03f,.047,.02d,.......crazy!

Can i write a script so that FMP5 must open the file in the path field by paperportviewer.exe?

Use the open URL step into your script to go to Paperport.

But in Paperport you can rename the needed files.

If you do so, you can use the whole pathname into your scriptstep.

Hope this helps.
