Emma in England Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I have a field which calculates the desired name/path - for instance file:../../Desktop/Page3.txt - but how do I get Filemaker to save with this name from a script? Up till now it's been saving with a standard name and using Applescript to rename, but I need this to be PC friendly. I tried pasting the field name into the 'Specify Output File' panel, but it took it literally and saved it as the field name, not contents! I googled this and learned that it was impossible without Applescript - but that was dated 1998, and I'm hoping things have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma in England Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Wow, it's odd how often posting a question on a forum causes the answer to appear in some other way... Just after I'd posted this, my shiny used copy of Using Filemaker 8 arrived, and a quick look in the index gave me the answer (using a script variable). And now it works! Just got to investigate filepaths on PCs now... Looks like a great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
