script to automatically open file in windows?
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2003 2:49 pm
I'm a newbie here, so please excuse me if I'm missing something obvious...
I'm trying to figure out how to write a script to automatically open a file on a Win2k machine.
The situation is that we want to link to a FileMaker Pro database from our intranet site. In order for it to be shared via WebCompanion, FMP's instant web publishing plug-in, the database itself has to be open. We want the link to the db to go to a php page which will contain a script to open the database, then redirect to the built-in WebCompanion home page. We're trying to just leave the file open all the time, but since the server is also a workstation in the office, people who don't know any better are always shutting things down and closing windows, so we can't insure that the file stays open.
Thanks!
