?run what?

 

[HarryArchibald]

I am importing data from FilemakerPro into SQLServer. The import does not work if Filemaker is not open. I would like
to run the import process as one process. To do this, I need to run FilemakerPro from the command line, and open the requried files.

ah ok, I see...the ODBC needs to be active right?
anyhow on Windowz:
run:
----------------
"C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 6\FileMaker Pro.exe" C:\my_folder\my_file.fp5
----------------

if u have many files to be opened then u can use my_files.fp5 with the script to Open all other files that u need. In the properties of the docuemnt u can set the option to "run the script" on open of the file.
so you would have:
my_file.fp5 with a single script (lets call it "start&quotwith 4-5-x script steps:
"Open[file1]"
Open[file2]"
.....
and then Edit-->Preferences-->Document... [x]run this script on open

All the best!
