i want filemaker to perform a script everytime that a new record is created. the records will be created via the web. any suggestions or insight? thanks a million,

tim.

Just add the -script CDML tag to the form or URL to call the script.

I'll leave it to others to warn of the hazards of running scripts througgh Web Companion.

okay. i'm ready for the warnings. also, could you give me a simple example of using this -script tag? thanks a million,

tim.
