Re: Need guidance

Hello,
Basically, I am trying to write an apple script under MAC OS 10 to do the
following:

Close all databases that are being shared by FM7 sever.
Open FM7 pro 7 to execute a script that will import data from another file
which is comma delimited
Close FM7 pro
Open all databases in FM7 server to be shared.

One thing that i noticed during importing new set of data i need to close
the all databases in FM7 server otherwise i dont get 100% of the new data
this is the reason i need to close the databases before i do the import.

Thanks again,
Albert
