Script below produces attached rubbish output.  Have tried creating new file from Excel data, but same result.  Mac Mini Apple M1 running Ventura 13.4 How do I correct this please?

1. Show all records
2. Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
3. Save a Copy as [file:Reg14 File IN USE BACKUP; copy of current file; Create folders:Off]
4. Close File [Current File]

Produces file output attached, not a copy of FMPro file:

 

Reg14 File IN USE BACKUP

Try adding the .fmp12 extension to the name of the file.

Yesss!!!!  Thank you so much.  That solved the problem.  FMPro is a great bit of software, and so often the problems that cause you headaches are resolved by what should be obvious logic.  Again, thanks.
