puterco Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 I'm currently creating a database to keep track of all ongoing projects. I was wondering if it was possible to create a field to store links to all files related to a certain project. Example: I'd like to keep track of all the word and powerpoint documents, in order to do so I could store a link pointing to each of the files to easily launch them directly from filemaker. Like an alias/shortcut inside filemaker. Can this be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spragueg Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 You could create an AppleScript allowing the user to choose a file. The AppleScript could then populate fields in the database with creator/type code, file path, file size and finder comments of the selected file I guess you could do the same thing with a group of files via an AppleScript droplet or Watched folder.

eremaut Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Hi, Yes, the same thing we do under Windows. Having no Applescript we use Winbatch (Wilson WindowWare) to populate these fields ... Works fine. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
