Exporting an .xlsx file

[ken_s2007]

The database is hosted with FileMaker Server 12.

 

I have a button with a script attached to export data to a .xlsx file. It works in FileMaker Pro Advanced 12, but not when accessing via IWP (OS X 10.6.8 Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57). 

 

I created a variable (note: I'm using a random number (x 10 so it doesn't start with a ".") -- I will date and time stamp after I get the date and time into a format that isn't interpreted as directory markers):

 

"file:" & Get ( DesktopPath ) & "Look_on_your_desktop;_next_is_just_a_random_number_" &  ( 10 * Random  ) & "_" & "FileMaker_to_Excel_Export.xlsx"

 

Export records [No dialog": "$exportPathExcel"; Automatically open; Unicode (UTF-16]

 

When I click the button in IWP, the screen flashes, but no file is exported.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Export is not supported through IWP.  You can see the supported script steps by selecting "instant web publishing" from the "show compatibility" list in ScriptMaker

Thanks, Win! (Sorry for being a bonehead and not checking that ; )

I have been using IWP Export, a plug in that is no longer suppported (for FM Server 12).  Are there any alternatives out there?
