Thanks everyone for the suggestions. But so far no luck.

One of the problems is that FileMaker seems to handle exporting to it's own
file format differently then exporting to a text file. It always returns an
error when saving or exporting to a path that it doesn't recognize. Text
files are no problem.

And it seems to be unable to resolve paths to default folders on multiple
computers like

Documents
Shared
Startup Disk

So it seems there is no way to reliably export (or save) a FileMaker File to
a known location on multiple computers. Which means I can't use Applescript
to rename and move the file after the export is done.

Thanks,

Todd
