I'd like to save records in Filemaker (such as important faxes).

I'd probably need an applescript to do this but I have absolutely no idea what I'm up against. I read the help files etc., and experimented around a bit, but I still find it difficult.

Can anybody tell me how to accomplish this?

Or is there another way to save single records anywhere else on my computer?

What software do your faxes come from? If you have scriptable fax software, you should be able to make a script to copy the current fax and then paste it into filemaker. A script might look like this:

code:

---

tell application "MyFaxApplication"

copy current document to MyImportantFax

end tell

tell application "Filemaker Pro"

create new record with data MyImportantFax

end tell

---

This would create a new filemaker record in the current database, and put the fax document into the first defined field.

What kind of file is your network file? Is it another Filemaker database, or something else? Or, do you want to save each fax as a separate file?

No! I put this all wrong!

I'm sorry, what I meant to ask is the following:

I'd like to save faxes FROM Filemaker into/onto the networkfile where all the documents go that belong to tha same project.

So it doesn't have to go in, it has to go out!

Phew, I hope this makes sense....

The place wehere I'd like to store the faxes is, for example, the harddisc of the computer.

So it's not a filemaker file where I'd like to keep them.

Hope this helps....

I don't really think you need AppleScript to do this. Just set up a regular Filemaker script that exports your fax records to a text file. I can't be more specific without more information about how your database is set up, and what kind of file format that you want to save the faxes in.
