Kent Searight Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Is there any way for a runtime to calculate its own file path, much like the function "Get (FileMakerPath)" does in unbound solutions? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Doesn't Get(FileMakerPath) work in a runtime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes, it does; just tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well, it was meant as a rhetorical question... I am sorry you wasted your time on testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Searight Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Either I'm missing something or I didn't explain myself well. Using Get (FileMakerPath) in a runtime returns the path to FileMaker Pro application, not the FM runtime application (at least that's the result I get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Not for me. It's the runtime path, when opened with the runtime app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Not here - and as it turns out, neither in San Diego. How could it? You could have any number (including zero) of FMP apps installed, and any one of them could be running or not. How would the bound file, opened in the runtime APPLICATION, figure out which one? Is it possible you're opening a bound file in the full FMP app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I can't figure out. Is it possible you're opening a bound file in the full FMP app? No, FMP isn't even running. The behavior you two are describing is exactly what I expected (and wanted) to happen, but it's not what I'm seeing. Instead I get the path to FMP 9 Advanced, which is what I created it with. I'm going to test on another machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even tried moving the folder containing the runtime....Still gave the location of when I created it. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I bet you've got the Get (FileMakerPath) function in a *stored* calculation. Make it unstored so it can update itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Searight Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Got it!!! About a minute after submitting the last post I realized I had to make the calc unstored. --- Thanks, Vaughan, I just got it.
