Title: Open Access routines using Boston Workstation

Hi Thom   Nice to hear from you again and I'm looking forward to the rescheduled session from today.  Always a tip to pick up in these sessions.   With regard to your feedback,  I have a variety of data sources requiring parsing, linking and consolidating and archiving prior to my import into my HIS system.  I'm thinking this would be more efficiently performed within my Access recordset routines?   My monthly upload into HIS would be from a consolidated table(s) that I would like in using data station.   Somewhat linking a variation of rules based and procedural routines...     Please advise if conceptually this doesn't warrant use of BWS : From my BWS script, I want to validate CSV data contents and then - connect to my Access2003 database - open my form, - pass in a filename - import file into an access table - execute command buttons/macros etc. (parsing/consolidating/linking etc) - once a month, another script will open the consolidate file access table for import into HIS system   Again, not sure what the connect routines would look like and how to reference a command button if this is possible.     Thanks   Pat Thomson     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thom C.

The DataStation can read directly from Access tables (or from queries) similar to how you’d read from an Excel spreadsheet or flat file. So no need to “hook the form” into the script – or to embed the script into the Access application - this would be the easier approach and therefore my recommendation.   Let me know if I’m on the right track here.   Thom C.

Basically,  I am running a script to perform multi-file validation, then upon successful validation, I need to open an Access Form to load files into tables and perform various other access commands to accumulate and consolidate data. I will then run a nested script to archive the files I've loaded into Access.  Once a month,  I will import this consolidated data (from these Access tables)  into my HIS system. I don't have Visual basic developers or Access developers and am thinking I need to do this through DAO however, if you have worked with interfacing Access forms with your scripts,  I would appreciate hearing from you.
