FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 96

• Select Specify output file or click Specify to display the Specify Output File dialog box,

and enter the path of the snapshot link. Click Add File and choose the folder to save the file

to, or type the path directly in the list. Specify one path per line. FileMaker

Pro will use the

first path it locates. See Creating file paths. You can also select Create email with file as

attachment to create a blank email with the snapshot link as an attachment.

• For Specify, choose Records being browsed (to save the entire found set of records), or

Current record (to save only the current record).

Compatibility

FileMaker Pro 11.0

Description

This script step operates in all modes except Find mode.

To send a snapshot link file via SMTP, use the Send Mail script step with the snapshot link file as an

attachment, and place it after the Save Records As Snapshot Link script step in the script.

Use this script step with the Get(TemporaryPath) function to save the snapshot link file to a

temporary location, if you do not need to store the file locally. If you use Get(TemporaryPath) to form

a file path, first assign it to a variable, then use the variable in the Specify Output File dialog box.

See Creating file paths.
