In a follow-up to my previous question which works brilliantly from a compiled application and as a citrix published app, I'm trying to do the same thing from a desktop icon as a shortcut which runs a bat file such as the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced\FileMaker Pro Advanced.exe" fmp:\aci-fms-02\BuildTrac
however when this runs, I am getting the following strange message:
Open Multiple Files choice 1: Open all files and convert when necessary. choice 2: Only open current Filemaker Pro files (no conversion) save converted files in (defaulting to p:/)
I select choice 2 and I'm left with a blank Filemaker menu with no open databases.
It would probably be easier to create a new internet shortcut in Windows (http://www.7tutorials.com/how-create-shortcuts) and use the URL fmp://aci-fms-02/BuildTrac instead of trying to launch it via the client. FileMaker Pro registers to handle the fmp:// protocol, so anything calling an fmp:// URL will automatically launch FileMaker Pro for you.
