Export database name with Date Stamp added to the name

After exporting a file with the Export Setup window, use this command to rename that exported file. Pull down the Edit menu to Command (or add an Edit > Command event to your script) and run this command:

`copy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile.csv" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile-"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+".csv"`

copy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile.csv" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\Demo\demofile-"+ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE())))+PADL(ALLT(STR(MONTH(DATE()))),2,"0")+".csv"

In the command, change the path to the full path of the file and location that you're changing. This command assumes you're exporting a csv file.

Prior to Accuzip we used SAP Postalsoft. We looked for its replacement and chose Accuzip based on testimonials of how great customer service was and on pricing which was very attractive. Best move we've ever made in software and you folks live up to all the good things I heard. I still get calls every 6 months from FirstLogic ( a distributer of the old Postalsoft and others) to see if I'm still happy with Accuzip. I always say the same thing: Yes, very happy. Thanks for checking in.
