Initial Open script not run in IWP

Featured Replies

I use IWP for various applications, where I do not wish to use the standard database selection web page. So that is replaced by a custom HTML page that sends the user to a special info page.

But I wish to use direct URLs to various databases that are IWP enabled, by using:

http://mydomainname.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=MyDatabase&-loadframes

That works fine, BUT: it seems that the "Open" script specified in the "File options..." menu item does NOT execute. So I have no way of initializing various globals, I need to use. One application is used from both FileMaker AND IWP, and I wish to go to a special layout when invoked via IWP - Get( ApplicationVersion) would tell my script it is run from Web - But without the "startup script", how can this be done?

Must admit I never realised that myself.

How do you direct the URL to the correct layout?

Would the OnLayoutLoad SCRIPT TRIGGER do the trick?
