ScriptFire for FileMaker
Product Info
Trigger Scripts Anywhere Anytime
ScriptFire is a FileMaker 5-10 plug-in for Windows and Mac OS. This powerful plug-in lets you schedule scripts anytime. Use ScriptFire to schedule scripts for hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly execution including interval schedules. Control intervals and schedules from your scripts. Open and close FileMaker databases based on schedules. In addition, ScriptFire brings the power of script triggers to FileMaker 9 and earlier: Have ScriptFire trigger your script to check user input after leaving a field or record. Define events that trigger scripts when users access certain layouts or switch windows.
By providing script scheduling and event-based script execution, ScriptFire gives you full control over your FileMaker solutions and lets you create features not seen before.
