Saving Export settings without enteringScriptmaker

[TFM]

Is it now possible with FMP7 (dev) to allow a script's export settings to be saved without having to edit the script? (example, using it with a runtime)

I have a solution that has export files that sometimes need what fields it exports to be adjusted. I'd like to be able to do this with a script. Set "LEARN" mode on. Perform the export, have it save the settings and turn "LEARN" mode off and work the new way forever more.

Is this now possible?

Thanks

I don't think you could do it quite like that. But I think you can get something that works. You can edit the Export Order directly in the script. What I would do is to allow them, in Accounts, Privileges, to access/modify that script.

They need one script to Open Scriptmaker as the only step. Then an Export script. It's pretty cool, 'cause it shows the other scripts, but they will not be able to open any others. And the "Run script with full access privileges" checkbox is not there (good thinking).

They will not be able to script anything that they don't have privileges for. But they will be to do anything else. Scary. Another idea is to give them a "dummy" file, with a Table Occurrence and layout of the main file. Then you can put the Open Scriptmaker and editable Export script in that file (where it will work the same).

But they could still do pretty much the same things, no matter what file they're in. So all the above is dangerous, and there's no real way to make it not so, that I can see. You'll just have to tell them to be on their best behavior, or else.

I guess I wasn't clear enough. I want to do this with the RUNTIME.

If only they had added a SAVE settings button on the export dialogue box. That would have been wonderful... So judging from your post above, it still can't be done and Filemaker stays in the almost wonderful catagory...

Thanks for your time.
