Is there a way to create a script in filemaker that will run and command a program that exists on my hard drive? I basically have a mapping program (businessMAP) and would like filemaker to access it and be able to paste selected fields (address, city, etc) and then find the specified map/location. Is this even possible? I have upgraded to Pro 8.5 and have set up the webviewer to Google maps but the mapping info is insufficent compared to what is available on businessMAP. Can FM be setup/scripted to access programs as it does websites? Any advice would be greatly helpful.
