Specify File dialog box

This dialog box appears so that you can choose a file that is needed by one of the following script steps:

•	Convert File

•	Import Records

•	Insert File

•	Insert Picture

•	Insert PDF

•	Insert Audio/Video

•	Recover File

•

Send Mail

As with data sources, you can specify multiple file paths separated by carriage returns. File paths are searched in the order in which they appear, and FileMaker Pro uses the first file it is able to locate. For more information about valid file path formats, see Creating file paths.

To specify a file needed by a script:

1.	Click Add File in the Specify File dialog box, and select the file you want using the Open File dialog box.

2.	Click Open to add the path for this file to the file path list.

3.	Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each file path you want to add.

You can also enter file paths by typing them directly into the file path list. Each file path must appear on a separate line.

4.	If you’re adding a Convert File or Import Records script step, for File Type, choose the file type of the file you’re converting or importing.

5.

Click OK.
