Help with Export Script

[evalesthy]

I've never written a script before (just got access to FileMaker this week). Can you walk me thru the steps of creating an export script. I have a database we'll call 'Work Orders' and from that database I want to export 10 of 50 fields every day to create another FileMaker database we'll call 'WO-Current'. The only parameter will be that the records exported are just those with the current days date. I want to automate this so a clerical staffperson can run this each day and replace the previous days data with todays. I'd like the records sorted alpha by the field ClientName. Can the date parameter be embedded in the script or must it be entered from a dialog box - I'd prefer the former as the latter may lead to entry errors. Can the script save the database to a specific location (i.e. in folder X with the Public Folder on a mac. What are the suggestions for setting this up and are there any good sample scripts available? Thanks.
