Hi,

   I’m trying to do an Insert from URL -  to a field called URL Data Field - in a script using FMP 12 Advanced on a 2010 MacBook Pro:
Insert from URL [Select;Test DB:URL Data Field ];”http://www.google.com/“]
I am connected to the internet using WiFi and if I use Firefox, I can connect to Google almost instantly.
When I run this script, I get a “Connection Failed” message.

When I set error capture just before the Insert URL, FMP returns a LastError: 1631. When I research this error, I do not get very far. It looks like a problem with the target field: the field I am trying to insert INTO. The data base is 100% local: no server or remote fields or code, no fields in another database. The only thing I can imagine as a problem could be related to the fact that I am using a partitioned hard drive. I see there is an option in "Insert from URL" script step:  "Go to Target Field" which may deal with this issue, but at least in my version (FMP12), this option does not exist. Is there a work-around?

Thanks for any help

Hi,

That option does exist in FM12, toggle it on and pick a field that is on the layout of the context where you run the script from (otherwise you'll get error 102).  Just tested it here with "www.google.com" and got the response I expected.
