creating file copies

[tomp]

I have a solution consisting of 5 files.

I would like to give my users the ability to 'save a copy' to a file path of their choosing by specifying it once and me applying it to the 5 files without their intervention.

I don't see any way to pass the file path as a parameter to the 'save a copy' script command.

I'm using developer 7 cross-platform.

TIA

You can use a variable to set the path and then save a copy to a certain location. However, letting the user choose a path is another thing. You will have to use a plugin or VB script etc to allow the user to choose a path of thier choice.

Also, if this solution is shared at all, IMO this is heading for disaster. Multiple copies of the same files in use will only lead to problems. Users will enter data in one copy and by mistake in another one later. Then it will be up to you to perform a diff check between the data.
