Save Records As Snapshot Link
Purpose
Saves a set of found records to a FileMaker Pro Snapshot Link (FMPSL) file.
Format
Save Records As Snapshot Link [“<output filename>”; Records being browsed/
Current record]
• 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.
If FileMaker Pro executes a script that does not specify an absolute path, and the database file
containing the script is hosted, the path is assumed to be the current user’s Documents folder.
