Mac Security Stopping Script

[amallison]

I have a client that has an AppleScript that has just stopped working. All it does is ask the user to pick a file (name), this is then returned to FIleMaker.

The main variable is that their Mac server died (which unfortunately is also the FMServer). They rebuilt it and applied new Apple Security updates.

If the user logs on (not to the network but) locally and opens the files through FMServer, the script runs correctly.

If I just have the first half of the script that asks the user to pick a file, it works. It has something to do with returning the result to FIleMaker.

Here is the script.

Thanks

If the user logs on (not to the network but) locally and opens the files through FMServer, the script runs correctly.

So what's the problem? How else would they do it?

(What do you mean by "logs on locally" and "not to the network?")

When they start their computer up they have the option to log onto the local machine or to log onto the domain.

The issue was that the client was using a FM6 application at the same time as FM10. The FileWall on the Mac was causing the issue.
