Jim,
Try something like this. I've never tried this with a container field, so I
don't know for sure that it'll work. The cell number needs to be replaced
wiith the proper cell number for your file. Also,
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set the_file to (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "MyData")
my write_file(get data cell 2, the_file, false)
end tell
on write_file(the_data, target_file, append_data)
try
set the target_file to the target_file as text
set the open_target_file to �
open for access file target_file with write permission
if append_data is false then �
set eof of the open_target_file to 0
write the_data to the open_target_file starting at eof
close access the open_target_file
return true
on error
try
close access file target_file
end try
return false
end try
end write_file
HTH,
Jeff
