Time activated script

[sicSRT8]

Is it possible to set a script to run on a specific date and or time delay from last script run. I would like to set a script to run at the end of the week showing me a report of data entered into Database and if possible emailed out.

Would this be easier or possible to tackle thru FM Server?

I don't know how to trigger without some sort of action on the part of the user. Perhaps you could set a script to trigger on a very common event (e.g. OnRecordLoad) and then have it do something only if Get(CurrentTimeStamp) meets a specified value.

As far as a specific date goes you could run a script that runs when a database is opened and does what you want only if the current date meets some calculated value. However the script will not run if you are in the habit of leaving your database open continuously. In that case you could use a Layout trigger.

Yes, you can easily set a script to run on a schedule using FM Server.
