The Open URL Script Step opens a specified Internet URL address or performs other specified URL protocol commands. This means that you can have a combination of web and FileMaker actions within a script that you use in your database solution.


In this example we have a relationship to a portal that shows web site names and URL addresses. We have a button in each portal row that will go to that web site via a compatible web browser. We also have a button that will open all the web sites at one time. If you have tab browsing enables, you can see each web site in a new tab!

Here you can see all the listed web sites in the portal opened up as tabs in a Firefox browser.
