Closing a file on server 10 via VBS

[Todd Dignan]

Hi all,

I'm a beginner to VBScript. I know nothing. I did buy a book this weekend, "Micorsoft VBScript Step by Step". So far very frustrating. I can do this via command line with two commands.

1. cd c:Program FilesFilemakerFileMaker ServerDatabase Server

2. fmsadmin close -y -u username -p password FileName.fp7

I need to use FM Server scheduling process to run this. FM server only used VBS or JScirpt on a windows computer.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

FMS can't execute VBscripts natively only batch files (*.bat or *.cmd). So just use the command that you know and put it in a batch file then use the FMS scheduler to execute it. You will need to save the batch file in the FMS scripts folder.

Thanks, that worked.
