Export problems in Hosted environment

[bankofbermuda]

Has anyone experienced problems exporting data from filemaker to ".mer" files in a set hosted by Server 5.5??

My Export Record script step has the restore export order and no dialog options selected. The export works properly in a single user environment, when we move to server 5.5 it doesn't export the selected records. Any ideas??

Frustrated...

It's probably exporting to a location you didn't expect. Have you searched for the file? Are you on OS X by any chance? I ask because on other OS's the default export location is inside the FileMaker folder, but on X, it's inside the FileMaker *package* -- yes, inside the application itself! Control-click on the app and choose "Show package contents," maybe your file is there.

Try changing the script to display the dialog, and when it does, choose a location for the export. Then open the script again and turn off the dialog, and when it asks, tell it to Replace the current Export.

Export your data the way you want and to where you want while in the file while it is hosted. Then save your script settings. If not you want get the results you are looking for.

Thanks, replacing the export order in the hosted environment fixed the problem.
