Opening files from Container field links

in Script Workspace and Script Triggers

Featured Replies

Hi-

 

I have a container field which stores links to image files on my HD. I'm trying to write a looping script which will open all the files linked from this field in a given found set. I can do the finding and the looping but I'm stumped as to how I get filemaker to open the files themselves. All the script steps I can find seem to be for opening other filemaker databases.

 

I'm using FP12 with Mac OS10.6

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

Have you tried Export Field Contents using a file path to Temp folder or Documents?
