Can anyone fix this script for me?

My client is very nice person, and I will direct him to the developer.

Regards,

Tusif

Which part exactly isn't working?

Hello Tusif,

I understand the script isn't working as intended... Could you tell us me what error it's giving you?

Thanks

Hi. I am the original client Tusif referred to in the original post.

Tusif has made a CRM-type software for us with this moo-plug script being the next piece.

Situation: The filemaker database will sit on a mac shared server in the office (Mac Mini) being accessed by (4) local computers (3 MSFT XPs, 1 Mac). As well, as we are using an independent server, we will likely expand to allow non-local users access as well i.e., in other offices that are in the shared network.

We want to create a button that would easily allow the upload of files that are linked in the database to a particular record.

The script would: automatically move the file from the person's local hard drive to the server (mac mini), create a directory, and rename the file. Regardless if the person who uploaded the file is connected, anyone can go on the mac server and access the file via filemaker or outside in the normal file directory.

The script with the issue is written below: http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/212679/post/347318/fromactivity/myposts/#347318

As mentioned, I'd be willing to pay a suitable amount to resolve the issue and keep the conversation open for future work on the database as we expand.

Please reply to the post or message me privately if you are able to help.

Thanks!!

Hi MohitK and Tusif

I think there are two separate issues here.

Firstly, I'm not sure that the folder path is being correctly specified for the MooPlug function you are using. When the script step

Set Field[Funds_Tasks_mini::ErrorDetail; Moo_FolderExists(Funds_Tasks_mini::Folderpath)]

is executed, what value is returned in ErrorDetail? What actual value gets stored in the field Funds_Tasks_mini:Folderpath

Secondly, as I understand it, you want to build a set of files under database control which can be stored on a central server so that anyone can subsequently access them. The idea seems to be that they are built locally on the client computer and then copied (moved?) to the server. I don't understand what the format of the files are, nor why they are being put into a container field before exporting - which I can't see working anyway - and how users can subsequently reference the files on the server.

If you want to contact me off-list by eMail I may be able to help.
