I have two Filemaker 7 files A and B running on separate machines. A
connects to B once a day and copies over some of the data. A needs to
check to see if B is available before doing this, as the machine
hosting B is sometimes down.

Is there a way to check for this in a script?

Thanks,
Kevin

Say you make a relationship between A and B based on constant = 1 both
sides. Now when you call by script the fileB, just ask 'if (
isempty(relationshipwith B:: constant)'. If Yes, B is not accessible, if
No, B is there OK.
