I need to know how to make R&R work from a CDROM. Apparently all I need to do is to get the rrwout.dbf status file to create itself in the C:windows emp directory but I can not get the command line right. If this status file writes directly to the harddrive and creates itself on the fly, I will be able to use all data from the CDRom. Please help me!!!!

You can distinguish Viewer status files by using the /O switch to specify the directory in which the file will be created and/or to specify the complete status file name. ____For example, the following command generates a status file named MYSTATUS. Because no path is specified, the status file will be created in the current directory.____RRWRUN RRWRUNIN 5 /OMYSTATUS____To specify the directory in which a status file should be created, enter a full path and name. If you enter a path without a file name, the Viewer will create a table named RRUNOUT.DBF (if you are using a control table) or a text file named RRUNOUT.OUT (if you are using a text control file) in the specified directory.______Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen, Thanks for your information. I am a mere novice with R and R and have little or no programming ability. I need to know where I place the command line material you provided. I have been trying to insert it in a short cut command line. Is this correct and what would be the sytax for the following____d:samplerall county approachall county.dbf____Do I place your info after or before or Where?____I want to run the runtime all county.dbf report viewer from the CD rom with an automatic creation of the rrwout.dbf in the C:drive. I would combine this with an autorun pgm that would permit the cd to be popped into the trary and activate itself up to the point where the query table shows up?____I am sorry to say that I have been using R and R for nearly five years and have only discovered its ability to be self-contained as a run time on the CD rom. This idea has massive positive implications. Please help me, Kathleen!!!____Norman

If all county.dbf is your runtime control file then the command line would be:____D:RRWRUN.EXE "d:samplerall county approachall county.dbf" /Od:OUTSTAT.DBF____if rrwrun.exe is indeed in the root directory of D: and you want your output status file (here called OUTSTAT.DBF) to be in that same location.____Kathleen
