Thanks.  That page seems very helpful.

However, when I tried the script using simply: filemac: & Get(DocumentsPath) & filename to generate the address for the server to export the records file to, it still didn't work. I get an 800 error code.

The temporary folder option described sounds more complicated and if I can't get the first option to work, then I suspect I couldn't get that to work either.

Any other helpful suggestions or webpages to help me figure this out?

Thanks so much!

Sue

I am trying, for the first time, to set up a scheduled script to export records from one of my files via the Server Administrator (version 10). It all seems pretty straightforward, but my script isn't working.

I am trying to save the exported records as a csv file in a folder on the server. I can run the filemaker script that exports the records quite successfully from my computer or another computer, and as long as the computer is connected to the appropriate folder on the server, it works.

But when the Server Admin runs the script, nothing happens. I suspect that the server needs a different address or address format to figure out where to put the exported record file than what works from my computer, but I can't figure out how to name the correct address for the server's use into my script.

From my computer:  filemac:/foldername/filename.csv    works fine.

Can anyone offer advice on what I might need to change to get this working from the server?

Thanks very much for any help,

Sue
