How can one go about getting the Macintosh computer to dial a phone number from inside FMP9?

I'd try AppleScript ... take a look at this article:

This looks promising.

I'm tinkering around with it now.

One of the problems I used to encounter with FMP6 and AppleScript was that using the ScriptMaker Perform AppleScript call wouldn't work well if I had to work with the FMP database making the call. I'd have to build an applet that would reside outside of FMP and have IT access the data in the FMP database.

Does that same problem continue in FMP9? If it does, is there a work- around INSIDE of FMP9? Or would I still have to build an applet to deal with the FMP database?

Regards,

Chuck
