Specify Output File dialog box

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

•	Export Field Contents

•	Export Records

•	Save Records As Excel

•	Save Records As PDF

•	Save Records As Snapshot Link

•	Save a Copy as

As with FileMaker 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 an output file needed by a script:

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

2.	Click Save 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 specifying an output file for an Export Records script step, for File Type, choose the file type you’re exporting to.

5.	Choose Automatically open file to open the file after it is saved. Choose Create email with file as an attachment to create an email and attach the saved file. These actions occur after FileMaker Pro creates the output file.

6.

Click OK.
