VB execute Fm script on FMS

Hi,

Is it possible to execute filemaker script via VB on the FMS machine? will it still let me run none-compatible script steps?

I would like to do an automated import (and its not web compatible : ), So I was thinking to bypass the FMserver somehow...is it possible?

I do not wish to use a FMclient for this task.

VB or any other suggestions?

Nope. To run scripts on the Server you need to go through the FM Server Advanced web interface and that means running scripts with web-compatible script steps only. You can do that from VB easily so the limitation is not in the language you want to use.

To run all scripts you'd need to set up a FM client machine and then you can use VB again to trigger a script in the client without the web-compatible restriction.

I see,

That what I was afraid of...

My client doesn't have a client - he uses cwp and I need to import data several times a day to his data...

So that means that I need to set up a client on my computer to run his jobs...

Can web trigger (php,xml) scripts be non-web compatible? (in ver 6 it was possible...)
