FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 131
Notes
• If new database creation has been disabled in your installation of FileMaker Pro, it will not
be possible to convert file types such as Microsoft Excel or tab delimited files into
FileMaker
Pro databases. However, you can still import the data from other file types into
FileMaker
Pro (if you open the database with a password that allows you to import). If you
need more information, contact your system administrator.
• In runtime solutions, the Open File script step returns an error if an external file is not bound
to the solution.
• This script step is unable to open a file from an unauthorized file.
• If the specified file is opened then hidden by FileMaker Pro, scripts that are set to run upon
opening are still executed.
Examples
If [DayName(Get(CurrentDate)="Monday"]
Open ["Weekly Planner"]
Else
Open ["Daily Planner"]
End If
