Mailmerge / Server.

[David Atkinson]

Is it an Age thing ???   I am writing a mailmerge routine.   1.  A filename is created starting with todays date (YYMMDD) and the user can add some meaningful text (DIALOG up to 8 chars). example: vfile = '011212xmaslist.doc'   2.  The routine presents a list of current clients and from the one they select, they then select a contact from current contacts linked to that client.   3.  The unique cnID is added/concatenated to vcnlist until the user decides the list is complete.   4.  GATEWAY EXPORT CSV &vfile select cnformal,claddressto,clfullname,cloffice,claddr1, claddr2,cltown,clzipcode FROM (view) clicont WHERE cnID IN &vcnlist creates the CSV file.   All works well except that the CSV file is on a local machine not on the Server as users would expect.   Within My Documents on the Server, folder Mailmerge sits waiting for CSV files from Rbase.   To be sure the path is correct, I have selected the path to Mailmerge into the paste buffer from the command line in Windows Explorer on the local machine.   Pasting it (as a prefix) to the CSV filename, GATEWAY throws up an error message "Syntax is incorrect for the command Gateway"   COPY localfile serverfolder also throws up an error message, whether issued from the RPrompt or within a command file. "Syntax is incorrect for the command COPY"   Thinking it may be an 8 character max problem, I have also tried 011212mm.doc - same results   Any ideas - workarounds please ?   By the way - European legislation about to be introduced will state that all individuals who work for a Registered Company are personally responsible for E-mail they issue on behalf of that Company and that they personally can be subject to due process of law (claims / writs) unless the Company Registration Number appears on each item of mail they issue.  Whew !!     David   skidbusters.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ********************************************** KLARUW RMS Ltd - Company Registration No 1975818   CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE:  This e-mail and any accompanying data are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is confidential.   If you are not the intended recipient, you are notified that any use, dissemination, distribution or copying of the whole or any part of this message or data is prohibited.   If you received this e-mail in error, please notify us immediately and erase all copies of the message and any attachments.   Please note that Klaruw monitor incoming and outgoing mail in compliance with this E-mail Policy.  This will include scanning incoming e-mails to detect viruses.   Thank you. *********************************************
