I notice that FileMaker installs a "tlb" file for filemaker which should mean I can access it thru VB. I've tried every combination I can think of for:

GetObject or CreateObject

in VB. Has anyone done this or know how?

Check out the help for "activeX", it details all the objects and methods plus has some VB examples.

You need to include a reference tot he LIB file in your VB project, use VB's object browser and you'll see FileMaker 7 listed.

In VBscript and the like this will work:

CreateObject("FMPRO.Application")

Note that this syntax is the same for FM6 so if you have both FM6 and FM7 installed this call will run whatever you last opened manually.

Thank you. Perfect. I looked at all the help files and pdfs on the Developer CD, but never thought of the help file. My mistake. The help file is indeed good.

Couple of cautions, for others:

A Script must be checked and visible in the Script Menu to execute

Can not open remote files

Solution: Use a "parent" file containing automation scripts and remote opens (as a script)
