export during script - access errors on server

[mguncheon]

I have application where I am exporting some data to a file (no dialog) and calling another script which imports the data into another special database used for printing. Since moving to OSX we have had problems with not being able to export the file on some users computers. I get errors sometimes where it says it can't open (the export) file. Is there a better way of doing this?

Since the file is being served, the file is being exported to the computer running filemakersever, I assume that is part of the problem.

With OSX, it may be that the current user is not the owner of the file. If they don't own it or don't have complete access rights, they cannot overwrite it with the new export file.

Thanks for the suggestion, I checked that out to no avail.

One thing I tried (and seemed to work) was that I went to the file that did the importing and open up the script and reselecting the file for importing. I'll see if that holds for awhile.

Instead of exporting to a "middle-man" file, could you have your print db import directly from the source db?
