Recently I have had a reasonably serious play with ScriptMaster and it works well in FMP.

I'm just looking for some guidance so I don't bog down potentially attempting the impossible:

Can I trigger a call script from IWP that runs on the FMP machine from IWP? Specifically can I use a script that saves a PDF to the host HD? I tried it with the onLayoutLoad and failed and was wondering if I could do it by a change to a field value or similar.

Also, it is not clear to me what 'param' (if any) I would use.

Thanks

Hi,

Inside IWP, it is not possible to export records or save them as PDF, so if you want to do this, you could launch in your IWP session a FileMaker script from a IWP shared file on a machine (local or remote) on which FileMaker is running, and this file open and shared of course.

You can use a plug-in do do this, for example, RemoteScripter from 360Works.

You need to do some scripting on the hosted file using the functions the plug-in provides, but it's not difficult to do it.

Script triggers on objects won't work on IWP unless you pressed a button before - launching a script that activates e.g a field on which you assigned a script trigger.

This would be a solution but there may be other ways..
