This is a confusing question, so hang in there.

I have customized my current version of ebase (v1.03 running FMPro 5.1 on 
our server over a LAN with 8 clients) with some scripts that export 
tab-delimited files to a specified location (for example, they currently go 
to "\\Server\ebase\email lists". These files are then massaged by a 
text-modifying program (TextPad) that runs scripts to turn them into files 
that can easily be used in our Eudora address books - these scripts also 
point to that same folder. We want to do two things, and we're not sure 
which order they should be done in (or whether it matters).

- We're going to switch over to Filemaker Server to speed up everyone's 
access, which will also involve moving which directory ebase is in (don't 
ask me why, but the consultant who will install FM-server says it is true)
- We want to change the location of the exported files to a more logical 
location - this will require rewriting small portions of the scripts in 
both ebase and Textpad. Obviously, we'd rather only do this once, as it 
will take awhile.

So our question is - when we switch from ebase in its current mode in its 
current location to Filemaker Server in a different location, will the 
ebase scripts get confused about which directory the export scripts are 
pointing to? I.e., does the export Save As.. command use a relative or 
absolute file-addressing?

Thanks,
Jeff
