filemaker and shared drives

[hamelekim]

I am trying to create a script that when a button is pressed a corresponding pdf file is opened from a shared drive on the network. I can't seem to find any script command for opening files (other than opening other filemaker files). Is it even possible to open up a file on a shared drive from filemaker?

Absolutely! You can either use Troi File plugin, or use an applescript.
