Hello! Please could someone tell me if it is possible to put a link into a FMP database to open a folder on a network. Like a URL but to open a folder on another PC.

Thanks for any info

Chris.

yes it is.

you need the full path to that folder in a field.

then in your open url script step, set perform without dialog and specify the url as the field with the full path in it.

Sorry I sent you a private message, Could you please explain the url script step as I have read about it but dont quite understand it.

Thanks

Chris Brown

Chris,

what you need is a field to hold your path to the folder. (just a text field).

Now, in your script, simply add an Open URL command. (this is found at the very bottom of the list on the left.

check perform without dialog. Now click on the specify and choose field and select the field where you placed the full path.

Now, when you run this script it will open that folder for you.

hope this clarifies things
