August 14, 200322 yr 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... Chris
August 14, 200322 yr 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.
