Hello.

With the help of the forums and many hours of trial and error, i have successfully gotten my exporting working... mostly.

My script does a find for specific records, then saves those as a FP7 file, then does another find for other records saves those and so on...

ie:

find records A... export as "records_A_found.fp7"

find records B... export as "records_B_found.fp7"

etc...

The problem is that i have the export to path hard coded in and this works great on my mac, and i have even been able to getting working on my windows XP, however, it will not work on windows Vista. so, what id like to do is setup a variable to find the desktop path, locate a folder called Exports, then save the found records in that folder after each find but with the proper file name that i hard code... Im not sure this makes sense...i hope so...

I have found some topics on Get(DesktopPath) and such but cant seem to figure out how to add the folder name onto the end of the desktop path, then use the proper file name for the records that were found. Is this all done in a script, or do i need to setup some fields in the database with calculated results that each does a portion of the job needed, then setup a script that pulls it all together?

Im sorry if this isnt making much sense...its been a long day, but any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
