Does your variable "name" appear on the layout where you execute the script from?
Fabrizio Mura -----Original Message----- From: FileMaker Pro Discussions [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 2:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: variable dilemma I have set a variable script that refuses to work if anyone has an idea where the scripting is wrong then I'd appreciate any input. Set Variable ($data; (Value:Get(FileName)&"_"&main::name) Exports Records (No dialog;"$data.xls", Unicode(UTF-16) 'main::name' field is just a text field with a name in it. The exported file just reads $data.xls rather than for example "Main_John" which is what the 'name' (text) field reads on the screen . any help appreciated. I have done other variable scripts when saving files but this one just seems to be wrong somewhere. Lee Mills --
