Newbies Malof Posted August 21, 2007 Newbies Posted August 21, 2007 Hi guys, Im having a problem with an Open URL script to open a PDF file stored on a local network. I have found a solution but have not been able to perfect it, you can create a button that does an "open url" the url would be the address where the file is located on the server or computer for example: M:Filemakerpicsparcelpdfs1049.pdf I need the file name to change with each record according to parcel number (actual field on the database) M:FilemakerpicsparcelpdfsXXXX.pdf where XXX= parcel number so far I have tryed the following "file://M:Filemakerpicsparcelpdfsmalofdb::parcelnumber.pdf" but does not open, the only way I have gotten it to work is to open the specific file path but it opens the same PDF for every record. Please help
MarkWilson Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 ""file://M:/Filemakerpics/parcelpdfs/" & malofdb::parcelnumber & ".pdf"" You may need to change the formula slightly to ensure it works on both Macs and PCs.
