Choose Folder - FMP field value to document


  • Subject: Choose Folder - FMP field value to document

Hello ALL,

I need some assistance.

I have a FileMaker Pro database in which I need to run an applescript
routine.

Here are the steps I need to happen:

- The user clicks a button in FMP and an applescript dialog displays
prompting them to CHOOSE a folder in which FMP will export files into.

- When they CHOOSE the folder, I would like to capture the path of the
folder in a GLOBAL field called "gPath".

- After this is captured I would like to be able to EXPORT the value of one
field called "gSource" to that path using a name that is calculated in FMP
(let's call that field "gFileName"). For example if:

gFileName = "DocA.html"
gSource = "Blah Blah Blah..."

A following file will be created in the following location:

gPath:DocA.html

and the contents of the file will be "Blah Blah Blah..."

I'd like this to be OS safe meaning compatible with all version of
Applescript.

Thanks for any assistance :-)
