Automatic recovery via script -

Hello,
I would like to create a script in a file named "RECOVERY.fp7" using FM 8.5
adv.
The idea is to make a script that automatically recovers a set of filemaker
files. I can do this using the "recover file" step in the scriptmaker in
this extra file (RECOVER.fp7). When using this, I can specify the source
file, for instance "filex.fp7". The problem is that when running this
script, FM 8.5 automatically creates a file called "filex recovererd.fp7" (I
cannot determin how to call this recovered file myself). After that I run a
script in this file to "save a copy" (and overwrite) as "filex.fp7. In this
way I have recovered my original file and it has the same name as before.
BUT... If I do all this a second time, FM 8.5 automatically creates a file
called "filex recovered 1.fp7" instead of overwriting the old "filex
recovered.fp7". Because of this I cannot automatically "save a copy" as the
original file (filex.fp7) since I don't know how the file is called after a
second, third etc... recovery .
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem.
Thank you in advance,
Marc |
