I'm new to FileMaker Pro 5 today. What I want to do is export a subset of 11 fields from an existing FileMaker database so that I can use them in FileMaker Mobile2. I want to run the export every day and get only records with the current days date - that is the only parameter. Is this best done thru Script? Can someone point me to a good example? Thanks.

Export Example?
- Thread starter evalesthy
- Start date
Use two scripts, one to find the 'today' records and one to export.
What are the current day records ?
Only the new added records or also the 'changed' records ?
New added records, make sure you have a 'creation date'field.
Changed records, make sure you have a 'changed date' field.
Write your script to find those records something like
Enter find mode
set field - your date field - Status(CurrentDate)
perform find
This will give you a range of records.
Write your export script.
