You also might consider using the RGW option if it is always the same format
and save the user time.

As for LoadFileNamePlusPlus (Available with Plugin Power Pack) it returns
many values ie; File Count, File Name, File Path, File Name (only), File
Extension, File Date, File Size.    Very useful tool for users.


Sincerely,

Use the plugin, 
PLUGINS loadfilenameplus.rbl
You can preset the starting path, filter etc and it returns the
path/filename

Subject: [RBASE-L] - File Browser Button?


I'm wanting to create an import control for a user to simplify how they
import a CSV file into RBase.

Basically I want a button on my form that when clicked will bring up a file
browser dialog allowing the user to navigate to the CSV on their local
computer. The idea would be that this returns the DOS path and location of
the file they ultimately select... C:\Documents and Settings\user\My
Documents\somefile.csv ...then I can use that string with the existing
GATEWAY IMPORT command to import the file directly from their computer,
saving them from having to place the file in a static location with a static
filename.

Is there a simple command that will do this that I'm overlooking?
