Dynamic File Name?

[kiwiora]

Hi everyone,

I want to be able to open a file on the server based on a variable. Is this possible?

Open File - fmnet/01.1.10.15/$$FMFilename

I've tried but it seems it doesn't like opening a "variable" filename.

TIA

I attached you one of ways to do it by script.

Last time i did it by using other aplication from FM.

OpenFile.zip

Thanks I've already done that, but that's not dynamic enough. If you were able to use the variable then you would only have 2 steps instead of 2 steps x number of files.

If I did it that way I'd have to edit it every time a new database was created, let alone the number of times for each file.

I would really like to be able to use the variable.

Variables only work in FM8 for file saving..., a great reason to upgrade though.

Wrong script step.

Use open url with the correct IP address, for example:

"fmp7://localhost/" & $$filename
