Kathleen,____Enviro: RRW V9.0, Clipper Database & Programs____Question: How does one attach *more than one* memo text file to a report ?____Notes: I have used tonite successfully the RI_MEMO field to signal to RRWRUN a file to print on part of a report. I placed this field on the report with word-wrapping and it worked nicely ...____ But I may very well wish to ^attach^ *more than one* file. How does one do this please ??____TIA,____-Mel Smith__

You can only attach a single text file however within that file you can have multiple named fields that can be used individually within the report.______Kathleen__R&R Support

(I^m puzzled here) ?____TIA,____-Mel Smith____

The format is described in the help file.____Each field in the text file is given a name on the first line that is preceded by a . character such as:____.field____the actual field data starts on the next line and must begin with an open brace {__it can consist of multiple lines and must end with a closing }____so you could have____.field1__{We regret that you account is overdue.__Please remit payment immediately.}____.field2__{Thank you for your prompt payment.}______And then could use field1 and field2 within the report. These field names from the text file will appear in the field list once you select the text file.__Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____ Thank you for the detailed reply !____ I^ll work on testing this out.____-Mel Smith__
