I have a madExcept action and would like to change the value for the “madexcept settings file” in the BeforeAction.  
  
Is this possible? Where can I find the available properties for such actions?

Hi Christian,   
  
 In FinalBuilder select the madExcept action and then open the Action Properties Tab [View | Action Properties Tab]. This will show the properties available on the action for scripting. Selecting the “Settings File” property will then show its scripting name in the area below the properties list. In this case you require the following script;   
  
 Action.MesPath = FBVariables.MyMesPath;
