Version 10 and text files

Ask any questions you have about purchasing R&R ReportWorks. Will it work with my operating system? Will it access my database? Can I convert my old reports?

Version 10 and text files

Post by Mike_Dekle_(Guest) » Mon May 12, 2003 3:16 pm

Hi,____Currently, we use version 9 xbase edition to review our download from our website before importing into Mail Order Manager. We are making some changes to the website and this order file will no longer be in .dbf format, but instead will be a .txt file.____If we purchase version 10, will it read the .txt file without us going through a bunch of gyrations, OR, do we have to convert the file to another format and then read with Report Writer?____Thanks!

You can set up a text ODBC data source and use the SQL version of R&R to report on text data files.____Kathleen__R&R Support
