How to pass alias file name

Post by Thomas_Freitas_(Guest) » Fri May 09, 2003 3:05 pm

I am starting to convert my files over to RRW files from RP5. I currently have R&R V10____I use the file rrwrunin.dbf in order to call up whatever report I am using. The problem is that I have a database that I recreate and change items in it for specific users. I then give the database a name by using the user id and starting it with T_. Example T_tom.dbf____In the report file I make reference to the actual database, but within RRWRUNIN.DBF I changed the alias to show the T_ and user id. How do I accomplish this using the .RRW file format. The RP5 file works as it should. When I saved it to the .RRW format, it works fine except the passing of the alias.____Thanks in advance for your help____

Make sure that you use the complete path and filename including extension.____Kathleen__R&R Support
