Export a Record to a .DBF file as an Append

[jtflex]

Is there a way to export one (current) record to another database file I created and have it append to that file?

I am trying to create a script that the user can export different records through various finds and have them saved to a file that can be sent to another user at the end of the day.

It seems the export record will replace the contents of the file with the new export instead of appending to it.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

Is the fil whre you export to also a FM file ?

Sorry for not getting back right away, I had an emergency at work to take care of.

I wanted to save the file in .DBF format. That way I can have the other users open it with Excel.

However if need be, I can save it as a FM file and then convert it when I'm ready to send the entire file.

Thanks,

Joe

I use AutoIt to make such files.(and other things, right out of FileMaker)

To rename files, also with export out of FileMaker you could use
