IDEAScript Questions

Open Documents - Hyperlink

I have a long list on transactions and a pdf copy of an invoice for each on my computer.  
Is there  way for me to define an action field such that I can click on the document number field in IDEA, and automatically open the correct document on my computer?
The helpdesk said it is possible using a script, but I haven't had much luck.   
Thanks,
Will

How to write to the IDEA Status Bar?

I would like to visually inform the user as to what the script is working on. Like, "Processing records for VENDOR Ace Hardware", followed by "processing records for VENDOR Home Depot",  "processing records for VENDOR Lowes", etc. This would update over time as the system was doing different things, but require no user intervention. A progress bar is not specific enough for what I need to convey, i.e. vendor name.
So, anyone have a way to write to the IDEA status bar?  

Check to see if a database exists in a project

Hi,
 
I'm writing a scriptlet to add a column to an IDEA database. I'd like to make sure the database exists before I try to add the field to it!
I don't see a way to test for the existance of the database as part of a project.
I'm new to IDEA, so this may be an obvious question, so I apologise in advance!
Thanks for your help!
