Opening PDFs with Script Buttons

[Jarvis]

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this script?

It works just fine in one database but when attached to a different database generates the following error message:

I have attached a stripped down version of the database in case this helps.

Thanks,

If you copy to a different database, you need to redefine the calc that defines $filepath, if your container is not in the same table as it was in the previous database.

So, by updating the calc, it worked just fine. Here's the script updated:

If [ GetAsNumber ( Get ( ApplicationVersion )) < 9 ] 

Beep 

Show Custom Dialog [ Title: "Requires FileMaker 9"; Message: "Requires FileMaker 9, to use: Get ( TemporaryPath )" & ¶ & 

"Could also be done in earlier versions, but more work."; Buttons: “OK” ] 

Halt Script 

End If 

Enter Browse Mode 

Commit Records/Requests 

[ No dialog ] 

Set Variable [ $filepath; Value:Let ( 

prfx = Case ( Abs ( Get (SystemPlatform)) = 1; "filemac:"; "filewin:"); 

prfx & Get (TemporaryPath) & GetAsText(testexport::picture) 

) ] 

Export Field Contents [ testexport::picture; “$filepath”; Automatically open ]

Thank you.

I knew the answer was there somewhere

but I'm just missing a little tread on my tires.
