[FX.php List] calling scripts from FX help

[Michael Layne]

Greg,

Thanks... I had a feeling that was the case.  It's pretty important,  
so I'd probably be interested in seeing a workaround (even an ugly one).

The example was just a text file, but the requirement is for anything  
(mostly .doc, .xls, .pdf).  On the client side, there's a custom plug- 
in that kicks off the launch of the selected document, and supposedly  
it works through IWP, which is what we're trying to avoid due to the  
access limits (100 concurrent users).

If you think it's possible to write a small plug-in to allow the  
script to be called from FMSA, I have a resource I can tap.   
Otherwise, ugly sounds good.

Thanks very much,

Michael
