filemaker script, Q to be sure

[JitseSchaafsma]

Please do not throw me out because i have a question about filemaker script running in a cdml environment. I think i am aware of all the risk and disadvantages. But just too be sure.

I have a CDMl web enabled database. Now i want the user to be able to download the results of a query.

So this is what i do:

1] User makes a query

2] records get unique id

3] run a filemaker script to export the records to a file

4] user can download this file with <a href="filename.txt">download now</a> link

Okay, i agree, this interferes with the multithreading feature of filemaker.

Okay, i agree there are response speed issues

But any reason why i should not make this solution.

Thanks

(* by the way, i hope that in a filemaker script i can create a file with a runtime determined filename, i will sort that out later *)

re: But any reason why i should not make this solution.

If you rigorously test the solution with multiple near-simultaneous requests on the script, you should find the answer your question.

Looks fine to me.

You can have it force the filename within the script. (I do this for exporting to MYOB.)

All the best.
