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.

We have been using the AccuZIP software for over seven years now. I believe that being an AccuZIP customer is one of the reasons for our success. Every time a question has arose, AccuZIP answered it completely and competently. When the post office did not have an answer for us AccuZIP did. If there was ever any conflicting info between the Post Office and AccuZIP, our AccuZIP customer service rep was always correct. We have experienced only excellent customer service. Let me make that clear not good customer service, excellent customer service.
