save as pdf based on field values?

Hello,

I have a script that I save a copy of the current layout as a pdf, but would like to name the file based on the values of two fields. I can't seem to get it to work.

Here is the script.

Set Variable [$Saveas; Value:Purchases::Invoice Date & " " & Purchases:Vendor &".pdf

Save Records as PDF [Restore; No dialog; "$Saveas"; Records being browsed]

after running the script I get an error message "2006 Vendor_name.pdf" could not be created on this disk. Use a different name, make more room on the disk, unlock it or use a different disk.

The disk is not locked, or full. The problem appears to be with the date. Not sure why it is only showing the year instead of the full date.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Darron Jeans

Try this:

Set Variable [$Saveas; Value:Substitute(Purchases::Invoice Date; "/"; "-") & " " & Purchases:Vendor &".pdf"

Windows file names can't have "/" characters in them.
