Transferring data to an Access DB

[fieldling]

I get the following text when I open the batch file in notepad:
cd\andrew
G:\util\ inner4 andrew

andrew is the name of the batch file. G:\util is the drive & folder it is stored in. There is also a .DBN & a .IDX file named inner4. Could this be it??

What are the file sizes?

 

[fieldling]

The .DBN file is 875 bytes and the .IDX is 21 bytes.

 

[KenHigg]

I doubt those have any data in them...

 

[KenHigg]

I'm guessing your're working with a dbaseIII file. Can you scan (search) your g: drive for .dbf files?

 

[neileg]

inner4 must be an executable file or another batch file, but I don't know what.

cd\andrew
G:\util\ inner4 andrew

Inner4 sounds like your connecting to a Unix system. Maybe AS400 or similar ?

 

[fieldling]

I scanned the G drive and there are no .DBF files at all.

I assume you've asked around and nobody knows squat about the database, even maybe someone in IT? Surely the net work admin can point you to someone. Who did you come to get the shortcut?

 

[fieldling]

We know less than squat. This database has been going for years. Long before mine or anyone elses time. Last I heard the person who built it had moved to a remote part of Australia. With good reason I think....

If I find out anymore I will post back here. Meanwhile I've got that printer problem to fix.

Thanks for all your help anyway. I really appreciate it.
