To run a script in a shared database using a URL:

2. Append ?script=scriptname to the URL. For example:
fmp://192.168.10.0/filename.fmp12?script=scriptname
Specify script parameters and local variables using the format:

databasename[?script=scriptname[&param=scriptparameter][&$variablename

Notes
• Filenames are case-sensitive. Script names are not case-sensitive.
• The filename extension .fmp12 is not required.
• You can define multiple variables in the same fmp: protocol.
• If spaces or any other special characters are needed in a link, be sure to replace them with
the appropriate percent-encoded values required for valid URLs. For example, replace a
space with %20.
