Miss A! Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hi again..... I am being challenged.....i would like if possible to save my records as separateindividual pdf files - current situation, i have a folder in which i am saving a current record as pdf, when i go on to save second record, it replaces the existing one, i do not want to use append to existing option, will not be suitable for my kind of presentation........Also i have an existing file that is not generated in filemaker but that i would like to attach to the same mail as well..........i am stuck here guys!

Wim Decorte Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Also i have an existing file that is not generated in filemaker but that i would like to attach to the same mail as well. FM only allows one attachment, so a second one will not work. Unless you zip the two files and attach the zip file. i would like if possible to save my records as separateindividual pdf files - current situation, i have a folder in which i am saving a current record as pdf, when i go on to save second record, it replaces the existing one I'm assuming that you are looping through your records. Simply create a unique file name each time through the loop... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss A! Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 ohh yeaah, saw that later - thank you.... Here again(sorry, i just began FM so it does not stop) i have this line in my script to save my record (Get(DocumentsPath) & "Quotation_" & Calculation2.0::lct_QuotationID & ".pdf") This is not what i want, i would like to save my record in a particular folder named "Quotations" under my documents - is there a way to get around this, maybe i am missing something in my script, see my mess below: Go to Layout["Quotation"(Calculation2.0)] Set Variable [$Path; Value:Get(DocumentsPath) & "Quotation_" & Calculation2.0::lct_QuotationID & ".pdf" Save Record as PDF [Restore; No dialog; "$path"; Create email; Current record] Go to Layout[Vehicle_Rental_Calculation" (Calculation2.0)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
