We're using Filemaker 8, and we're working with a solution that draws company data for drop-down lists that our users will use to complete a form on their Macs. The data are drawn from 1 of 2 possible FMP files (the file on their Mac, or a file hosted on a FMP8 Server).
Users of this database might be in a location where a network connection is not possible; if that's the case a startup script that tests setting bogus data to a global field on the FMP Server-hosted database is invoked and, if it fails, the users are sent to a layout where the drop-lists are driven by tables in the local file.
However, if a network connection exists (and the test script succeeds), the users are sent to a layout with drop-lists driven by tables on the FMP Server-hosted database. Here's where I run into my problem.
Here's my script:
Although I have error capture turned on, I still get a FileMaker dialog box that says "MyHostedFile" could not be opened (Not Found). Our users won't know what to do with this message. I thought that turning Error Capture on would suppress the dialog, but it isn't. Any clue why, or what I might be able to do?
