Scott Pon Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I cant seem to find the answer to this, If I use "Open URL" to open a file, and the file does NOT exist, is there an error generated? if so where can I find this error? is there a Get function? If the file does not exist, I'd like to be able to show a custom box that tells the user. Thanks in advance

Fenton Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I could be wrong, but doesn't FileMaker just pass the URL to whatever mechanism the operating system uses to open them, the web browser? So I don't think there is an error returned. They'd certainly find out in a hurry. If you really need to know whether a file exists, without even running a script, Troi File can do this, and likely other "file" plug-ins, such as the (cheaper) one Productive Computing has. AppleScript can do this easily on a Mac, but it requires a script.
