Invalid File Path while Exporting

[wmugrad28]

My error says: ""Customer Temp.fp7" could not be created on this disk. Use a different name, make more room on the disk, unlock it or use a different disk."

I was running a script to export the contents of a found set to a file called "Customer Temp.fp7". The file is in the same folder as my main file "Customer.fp7".

If I go to File, Define, and then File References I see the name as "Customer Temp" and the file path as "file:Customer Temp.fp7".

Do I have to relate the Customer Temp TO to get this to work? I'd prefer not to if possible.

Hi, Greg. Filemaker exporting to a Filemaker file will attempt to create a new .fp7 file. If you have an open .fp7 with the same name, you will thus not be able to do the export.

A better strategy might be to select your found set in Customer.fp7, then open Customer Temp.fp7 and import.

HTH,

Is this a departure from the matter we discussed a short while ago... if it isn't then ignore the path issues by importing the found set inside the same FM7 file to another table!
