Execute an internal FM Script via SQL Statement?

Hi all,

Is it possible to include logic in a SQL statement to start an internal Filemaker script?

If there are posts on this topic already, please feel free to point me in that direction.

Thanks!

Kevin

Nope. SQL/ODBC is strictly for data transfers. You can use the FM activeX implentation on Windows to trigger a script from the outside. See the FM help file under 'activeX'. Nice set of examples.

Thanks. The help files do show great examples! Now, do you (or anyone else) know if it's possible to use the ActiveX automation from an ASP page? I've tried a couple of my own attempts and it looks like the process is being started on the server but I have no idea how to get it to open the script once I'm connected.

Thanks!

Kevin
