Scripting File Names Automatically

Is there a way to script names for Saved Copies of an FM database?

Specifically, Is there a way to timestamp the name for a file.

What I would like to be able to do is:

Create: [color:red]"File X"

Save as: [color:red]"File X March 19, 2009"

Any way to automate names of saved files?

You cannot use Save A Copy with a hosted file. You need to use FMS backup scripts.

However, for a quick lesson in paths:

Set Variable [ $exportPath; Value:Get (DesktopPath) & Get ( FileName ) & Substitute (Get (CurrentDate); "/" ; "" ) & "_" & Substitute ( Get (CurrentTime) ; ":" ; "_") & ".fp7" ] 

Save a Copy as [ “file:$exportPath” ] 

[ compacted copy (smaller) ]
