Accessing Filepaths On Our Network

[TCR]

Sorry if this has been asked. I've searched but haven't found anything on point.

I'm trying to use a variety of SM modules, but none of them will recognize a path other than something on my local HD. FMP itself works fine to get to system files on the network, and can follow paths using the syntax "filemac:/blah/blah/filename.pdf"

Using, for example, the "choose folder" module in SM, the dialog box won't let me navigate to anything that's not on my local HD.

We are a Mac shop. We've got FMP 11 Advanced. Scriptmaster.fp7 is loaded up on our FMP server and is opened when a user starts FM. (I used the "second method" to make sure I had all the chosen modules running.)

Yes, I'm a noob. What am I doing wrong?

In a unix-based OS your external/mounted drives are in your /Volumes/ directory, so your path will be something like /Volumes/Myexternaldrive/MyFolder/MyFile.ext You can select the Volumes directory from the root of your drive when using the file chooser. OSX hides this folder from users by default, but you can actually navigate to it using terminal or the "Go to Folder" option in the "Go" menu of the finder.

That was it. Thanks!
