Filemaker Server Local Access?

[Yelena]

I need to open locally (not remote) Filemaker 7 files from the computer that hosts these files with Filemaker Server 7. Is it possible? I

Yelena:

I'm not sure I entirely understand, but it seems that what you want is an Opener File, which is a FMP file stored locally on the client computer, which launches a script on opening, which in turn does your Open Remote.. for you. There are a number of threads regarding the use of Opener Files on these Forums.

Yelena:

The way an Opener File works is to open a remote file automatically. In ScriptMaker, you can select the Open Remote [] script step (and open the file without dialog), and select the file you want automatically opened from the Server. You then set this script to run when the file is opened, and your scheduling is up to you.

Use the Open [] script step instead. Open Remote only opens a dialog, it doesn't allow you to save the file path.

Quite right. My mistake - end of the week brain-lock.

Your answer helped me.
