Automated export

[joen0s]

Hi all,

i was wondering if it is possible to automate the export with FMP5.0.

i want to export 3 fields fully automated with one click on a button. i have the export button but it then the end user has to specify which fields they want to export.

and because it can be very confusing for the users to find the right fields i want this automated.

is this possible, if yes HOW ?

and also is it possible to do an OR search in a text box. if i do "test" "test1" then it is an AND search but i need a function that searches OR "test" OR "test1" for example.

hope to see a response soon

thanks

I don't remember FM5, to be honest. But I can't imagine that you couldn't script an export, saving the Export Order. Then, assign that script to your button.

An "or" search is accomplished by Entering Find mode, entering search criteria, selecting New Request, entering more criteria and clicking Find.

To export without the field dialog box, highlight the export script line, and then in lower half of the window, check the "no dialog" box. Now your users will not see any of the dialogs.

Hope that this helps.
