wintergreen Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 if i use this bit of applescript: open filemaker_file for Accounts "my account name" with passwords "my password" I still get a login prompt. Has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintergreen Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 ok after some further experimentation, I've found that the problem is related to spaces in the account name. However, I cannot get around this. I've tried: "my account name" "|my account name|" ""my account name"" "my%20account%20name" all to no avail...

Fenton Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Weird. I do this every day with AppleScript droplets. My account name has spaces in it. Works fine. Maybe it is the filemaker_file part of it? Since I use a droplet, I don't specify the file; it's just whatever is dropped. If done with a specified file, it must be a full AppleScript path, such as: "Macintosh HD:Users:fej:Documents:FileMaker:FM Clients:Smith:FileName.fp7" Edited March 5, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintergreen Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 huh, you are absolutely correct! If I change "open the_file" to "open alias the_file" then it works... but it's very strange that the alias keyword is unnecessary if there are no spaced in the user name!
