Linking to files directory outside FMP

[Hack]

Hi

I tying to figure out if it posable to link to an out side file directiory i.e. in "documents"

For example if I have a project sheet (with an Project ref no) and on there I have button link to an file directory which has number folders but only one of those folds has an matching project number to the project ref in FHP project sheet. so FHP finds the related file and opens it......

so the out come is I am using FMP as interface to by file directory structure in "doucment"

hopfully this is right forum to direct this question?

Cheers

You could use send event and applescripting to accomplish this though im not really an authority on either...

Hi Genx

Could this be done on XP oS?

On xp, definitley, we just use send event and then this sort of acts as a call to the run function i.e. its the equivilent of going to start run and typing anything in there. So we can do things like rename files etc by calling the command console and executing standard functions through it. Have a look at windows automation, theres a fair bit in there.
