FileMaker and Calendar/iCal

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hi,

anyone knows if there’s a way to save the uid (unique event id) in FileMaker while creating an Calendar/iCal event from FileMaker through AppleScript?

After creating an event I want to be able to edit/delete it from FileMaker so I need to save the uid when creating the event.

From this topic: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=23231 - I’ve learned that you can get the uid like this

tell application "Calendar"
	get uid of event 1 of calendar 1
end tell

But not how to save the uid in the first place.

Check StefanK’s method here: http://www.macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=34669. Once you have the event id in a variable, you can set it in Filemaker Pro.
