I **know** you have resolved the issue by now but one comment I would like to add:
In my experience - especially for the older versions of arimportcmd, nowadays I usually grab EIE/AIE - you should specify the MAPPING NAME after the -M parameter and NOT the FILE NAME. The difference is that the mapping name is specified in the fist line of the .arm file. You can even run into trouble if you rename your old mapping file but leave the MAPPING NAME intact. The same is true (or at least - was true until v6.3 ) for runmacro; there you should also specify the macro not by the file name but by the macro name, which is stored in the first line of the macro. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards Michiel Beijen ______________________________________________________ MANSOLUTIONS Energieweg 60-62 3771 NA Barneveld The Netherlands Tel. +31-(0)612968592 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet http://bsm.mansolutions.nl On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 12:45 AM, Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** "C:\Program Files\AR System\Admin\arimportcmd.exe" -u user -p password > -M "C:\Mappings\Findings.arm" -l C:\Mappings\logfile.log > > Rick > > > On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 3:40 PM, Joe D'Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > ** Could you let us know what the import command that you typed looks > > like?
