Error 643

I'm using a pre-existing ScriptMaker-built, file-resident script and running it from the server. The script's sole step is to export one field from all the file's records into a .csv file and save it to the server. That step is failing and we think it is related to how I'm writing the filepath. Given the directions in FMP and my programmer's understanding of server work we expected to be able to use the Transfer folder as a repository, so we called the filepath "file:/Transfer/. Based on other threads of online discussion, we created a folder on the server called "Documents" inside the Data folder and tried "file:/Data/Documents/" and that failed too.

FYI, this step is one of a two step process. Later, I'm going to want to use a similar script to import records into the solution from the server. So, figuring out this function will hopefully generalize to importing later.

Any help would be really appreciated!!

p.s. we're hosting FileMaker Server Advanced 9 on a Windows 2003 Server

IIRC, Server 9 does not support this type activity. You need a later version. Check this Forum for the article Wim Decorte and I did about server side exports. It can be found here.
