Vivian M Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is there a way to create a script that automatically opens a specific remote file without having to select from the Remote menu. I would like for my users to go directly into the solution without having to make selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 One method is to use an opener file. Search the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian M Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thank you for your response. I searched the forum for Opener file and didn't find it. Can you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivian M Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I really am a newbie to Filemaker, and to this website. I used to work in DBase and Access. We have MACs so I had to switch to Filemaker, which I thoroughly enjoy. Please excuse my ignorance, but I really don't know what you mean by "Opener Files". I did search, but to no avail. When I created a script using the "Open Remote" function, I still get the Remote menu asking for the selection. What I would like for the script to do is automatically open the specific remote file that resides on my FM Server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Vivian, If you click on the prior post's blue Opener Files, you will see it is a link to a post by Vaughan. He has prepared an example opener file (see the bottom Opener File.zip attachment?) I first learned Opener's from Vaughan and I have used this technique many times. It will give you exactly what you wish. And welcome to FM Forums!! There are many wonderful people here who can help you! :wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian M Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 I am so embarrassed. I did not realize it was a link. Thank you, and Vaughn thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
