August 9, 201510 yr Good Day, I'm evaluating the use of FileMaker server in our office. I primarily do all the coding on an office laptop, and I would like to be able to keep things in sync with the other computers in the office. FileMaker seems to keep the database in sync well, but I'm not sure how to handle all the peripheral scripts that we use to control other pieces of software and hardware. Is there a place in the file system that I can put these scripts that FileMaker will sync along with the database? Or do I need to go to a 3rd party syncing software? Regards, Ryan
August 9, 201510 yr No need for any syncing software. FM had a "perform applescript" script step so you can actually store the applescripts as text inside FM itself (sort of a library table). From there you can use that script step, or use the "export field contents" script step to output the applescript to the user's hard drive if you want them there to be used outside of FM.
