I'm intrested in the script files you can run with server.

Is this something you can make in pro?

I was hoping to make some auto import scripts.

I've looked through some docs, but it still is clear as mud to me.

FMS can run only one kind of script files: Windows batch files (*.CMD / *.BAT files). Not FM files or FM scripts.

Nice! I thought it had to have a .fmx extension.

So in theroy, I could use a batch file to start a file, that has script in it to run upon opening.

would the command be start database.fp7

Would that work if the computer does not have pro, but only has server?

Careful now ... not always a good idea to start FMP on the same machine as FMS.

To answer the question: no; if FMP was not installed on the machine nothing would happen.

If you have FMS Advanced you can run a script through the Web interface. See the Web Publishing guide for more info on that. It comes down to constructing a url to hit FMSA with.

Nice! I thought it had to have a .fmx extension.

Forgot to reply to this: FMX is the extension for FileMaker plugins.
