Opening Filemaker from the command line

Joe Schluter
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

I want to open a FileMaker database which is hosted by a FileMaker server using a batch file (or command line). I know you can open a *local* database by:

"<path>Filemaker Pro" "<path>database.fp5"

But what if the database is hosted by FileMaker Server? Is there a syntax for the parameter to specify a hosted file?

Thanks

Hi Joe, you could create an opener file, then launch that from a command line. There is a wealth of information here on opener files (just do a search), but basically an opener file is a file that resides locally and typically has one job, which is to open a remote file by way of a script that launches upon opening the file.
