Is there a way I can create a script that will automatically open the file I have in a container? I am putting word documents and CAD Drawings into these containers and these are files I have already on my computer. All I seem to be able to do is Export the file, create a second copy, and then it opens. All I want to do is open the file from the container without having to save it again.

Thank you for the help

Export the contents to some temp directory and then open the file...

Why not just use Send Event [] ?

With the "Send Event" command, I see how I can make it open a certain Application, but how do I make it hope the document I have in the container with that application.

Thank you for the help

Something like.

Set Variable $filePath [Path of Document]

Send Event ["Microsoft Word" "aevt" "odoc" "$filePath"]

Also if your files are set up as references link to the files in your container field, you can just use a simple Go to Field [ContainerField, select/perform]
