scripting question

[palav2004]

Hi,

 

I m developing a cocoa application through which I want to interact with FileMaker. Then only way I found is through applescript along with cocoa.

But when I run script to access database file it is necessary to open that file to get/set its data.

I want to avoid this i.e. I want interact with filemaker database but user should not get feel that database file is opened. How is it possible?

 

Thanks,

Palav

Hmmm, AFAIK FileMaker databases cannot be accessed without being open (hosted). The internal file structure does not allow for reading the data. Record structure needs to be interpreted by the FileMaker application.
