RSS Export pathing issue from a hosted DB

I have a solution hosted from a FileMaker Pro 8 application. When accessing the database from a client, I am having an issue with an export script I created that exports an RSS (xml) document. The difficulty is specifying the path for the export. If I am at the local machine, everything is fine. Otherwise, I receive an error when exporting. I know this is an issue with the file reference, but am not sure how to correctly setup the export pathing for clients.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

In 8 the export path specified in the export dialog can be a variable. So if you can calculate a valid path on the machine, you can store it in a variable and use the variable as a dynamic export path.

See the Get(DocumentsPath) and Get(DesktopPath) new functions in 8. You'll need to convert those into the format that FM expects in the export dialog but these two paths should work for all users...
