Asu Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello Mavens, I have a complex database and I have to export some of it into a spreadsheet. After some experimenting I created the right export order. Now I can reuse it and export from each record individually but now I'd like to automate it in the form of a script. Is there a way to sort of "import" the current export order into a new script? If there is, I have not been able to find it. Thanks, Asu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I am not sure I understand your question - esp. the part about exporting "from each record individually". AFAIK, Filemaker remembers the last export's settings; if you export records manually, then open Script Workspaces and insert a new Export Records script step, the initial settings (file type, field export order, options) will be the same as the ones you selected for the manual export.

Asu Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 I created an export order and I can manually export data by going from record to record because FM remembers the last export order (until it is changed). I want to create a script using this last saved export order - imagine that there is a button on the Export window that says "put this export order into a script". That is the functionality I am looking for. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
