FMSA 9.0 Schedule Scriptmaker Script Erroring

Hi: I am trying to automate an export via a scriptmaker script in a
database I have. On the schedules window under last Run Status, it
says "scriptmaker script aborted".

I made a second test script that simply goes to a layout and saves the
current record in PDF format.. that one produces the same Last Run
Status error?

If I run these scripts via a client connection, they run fine. The
server however, is aborting the script for some reason.

Am I missing something?

Server: Win2003, FMPSA 9.03, Schedule logging in with full access
privs.

Thanks
David R

Server-side scripts are only able to run IWP compatible script steps.
Anything that exports a file (like 'save as PDF') is not IWP compatible
and is therefore not compatible with server-side scripting.

Thanks Howard. Somehow I missed that in all the manuals and online
support materials I have been reading.

even on a LAN, and without IWP being used; hardly satisfactory is it?
