The solution I design and maintain (in FMP7) is not like anything I seen or heard of. Rather than a single database for multiple projects, this DB is used as a template. It

Lookers but no takers?

It's alright. I have solved part of the issue. I am exporting to fp7 file from the critical tables and then importing those. There's really only two so it is not too big a deal.

But now I am trying to find a way around the hard-wired export file name. As I mentioned I have numerous files in play. Having two of those files export subsequent to each other before the first file gets used for an import over-writes the export file.

So now the question is: can you dynamically name the export file based on some data in the exporting file? It seems to me that, to avoid user intervention you haveto set the filename in the script.
