Importing Between Tables within File on Server

[Chuck]

I have a script that works correctly on a server machine when running within FileMaker Pro 13, but raises errors when run within FileMaker Server 13. Both are running under Windows. The portion that is raising the error is an `Import Record` script step that imports from one table within a file into another table within the same file.

The error returned is 100, "File is missing," so I'm wondering if this is something not supported when running a script within FileMaker Server. If that's the case, I'm thinking that perhaps exporting the records to a temporary file and importing from that might be a workaround, but before I start down that road, I want to check and see if I'm missing something.

The Import Records script step can't import directly from a FileMaker file when running server-side. Export your data to a file in Get ( TemporaryPath ), then import from that exported file.

I should have remembered this. I came across the problem in an unrelated situation a year ago or so. But no search came up with a definitive answer. pft221 over at Stackoverflow was kind enough to provide a link to the relevant help file, in case anyone else is interested.
