Hi,
I have Troi activator plug-in. I am using the simple "daily activate a
script".....in the demo. I have transferred all fields/script steps etc
into the file and machine that will be activating the script. All
buttons/fields/ etc seem to be working normally except the script does
not execute.
I am wondering if I have a file path problem in the "Schedule It"
script .....maybe some help please

The tutorial has: Get(FileName); "triggerscript";
"123", "abc"

I have entered:
"filename.fp7; "NAME OF SCRIPT"; "123"; "ABC"
and it does not work

I have tried:
"path applications/path FM Server 8/path FM Server 8 data/ path FM
server 8 Databases/filename.fp7"; "NAME OF SCRIPT"; "123"; "ABC"
and it does not work

Should I be using the Get(FileName) function?...or is it the
path?...or?....have anything to do with FM Server 8?..any help would be
appreciated

Get(Filename) should work for that entry, but you still have to have the
others exact.

I would hope that your use of "filename.fp7; "NAME OF SCRIPT"; "123";
"ABC" to describe what you entered is just a representation, and doesn't
mean you actually entered those values.

As for the path, you might want to experiment with using colons (
instead of slashes (/) as delimiters. I am not where I can look at an
example I have in mind, but I had an issue which revealed that Troi has
not yet updated all of its plugs to use the Unix format as opposed to
the old Mac format. I can't be 100% sure of that right now, though.

I could be mistaken, but I think Activator requires the triggered script
to be in a file that is already open. As such, no path is required --
just the file name, no extension (.fp7).

Please post for us the full script step, as you don't show what you are
setting as your 'next run' schedule.
