Hi,

Is it possible to export a file as the (or with the name) of a field content?

If the field content was: Hotwheels the file would be exported as Hotwheels.fp7...and if the field content was Matchbox the file exported would be Matchbox.fp7.

I currently export the files to my desktop to be moved later but I can't figure out how to rename based on the field content.

Thanks,

Jim

When you specify the file name in the Export script step you may use $variable as a parameter - this will be how you generate your file name.

Your script needs a Set Variable as follows:

$filename = Get ( DesktopPath ) & FIELD & ".fp7"

Then your Export script step must use $filename as the parameter. Don't forget to make sure you are exporting as a FileMaker file

Thanks,

I thought it had something to do with the variable, but I just did not understand them enough to put it together.

Thanks again,

Jim
