Question

I wrote a script in FileMaker Pro 9 to export some records to a .tab file, and I need this script to run daily. I am running Windows XP. I haven’t found any function in FM to take care of this – is there a way to run it from the command line? I know that I could set something like that up with Scheduler.

Answer 1

I’d create a second FileMaker file which runs a script on Open which does the following:

Open File [Your Other File]
Perform Script [Export Script]
Close File [Current File]
Exit Application

And then set that file to be scheduled by Windows Task Scheduler.
