September 17, 200124 yr Hi there, I am wondering if there is a scipt step to create a clone of files that live on the server, without closing the file on the server first? Does anyone use such technique already? Thanks
September 18, 200124 yr Sure, the "Save a Copy As..." script step. However, it has to be done from within each database (that is, each file has a "save a copy" script, and some main script has to call each of these externally to perform them). The challenge is that in a multi-user setup, the Save a Copy As... step cannot be run when the file is opened by more than one user, which means that the script really needs to perform a check before doing the save -- not hard to do but it adds to the complexity and means that if one of 20 files are in use then that one won't be cloned.
