Finally figured out how to append a number to the file path.

Here's the code:

global varLastBlock
      put "/PDAForm" & varLastBlock & ".pdf" into tFirstPath
      replace return with empty in tPDFpath
      put specialFolderPath("documents") & tFirstPath into tPDFPath

Thank goodness.

Hi Mike,

You could add the time to a name too. In this way, your users could not
overwrite any file by mistake:

Code: Select all

put "/PDAForm" & varLastBlock && the ticks & ".pdf" into tFirstPath

I can't do that - have to be serialized for saving and loading.

Working on it.
