Default SMS using Skype from Filemaker - 07-03-2009 , 04:33 AM






Has anybody had any luck doing this?
with an applescript?
I found that by typing "skype:+[Telephone number]?sms" into a browser
address bar it will trigger skype to open an SMS window to the specified
number, but when using the "open URL" script in FM it adds "http://" to
the front preventing the skype trigger from working...
I would also like to work out if it is possible to automatically fill the
message body too.

Place a web viewer on the layout, name it and make it really really
small. Then use Set Web Viewer[].

Wowwwee! It works! Thank you.
Any ideas on how to input text into the message?
