File Paths

[Rhys]

Hi there,

I am currently running a peer to peer filemaker database that is working reasonably well. I have one problem though...

The host computer is running Mac OS Leopard and Filemaker Advanced 9, the client is running Mac OS Tiger and Filemaker 9.

I read that when relative file paths are referred to in a script, if they are running on the client computer it will refer to the Filemaker folder in Applications which is fine.

I therefore create a folder in the Filemaker folder called "Temp". When I run a script it exports some data as a PDF and does this fine, saving it in the Temp folder on the client computer. The script then tries to retrieve the PDF (with exactly the same file path) to insert into a container however I gives an error that it cannot find it, however when I look in the Filemaker Pro Application folder it is there!?

Any ideas would be appreciated!
