Consolidate Xbase export

I am a ver 10 R&R user. In Rapid Runner ver 2 that comes with it, there is an Xbase-Consolidate option for Destination (file export). This is a great feature that allows you to append records to an existing Xbase table rather than overwrite it. The crunch is, I need to use the consolidate option through a runtime control table, but I cannot find the string needed for the RI_PRINTER field. At the moment I put X in this field, but of course, the table is overwritten every time. Any ideas?__Any help would be much appreciated.____Adam____

There is no runtime equivalent for the Rapid Runner consolidation I am afraid. But behind the scenes there is a program called RRCONSOL.EXE that does the work. So you could export to DBF to create a temp file and then run RRCONSOL.EXE to append the temp file to the existing file.__To to add fileA to fileB you would use:__RRCONSOL.EXE fileA.dbf fileB.dbf__Note that you would need to make sure that the files have compatible structures for this to work correctly.______Kathleen__R&R Support
