Stephen, What is the nature of the problem you are having with the download from Meditech. I have downloaded NPR reports from Meditech many times, the key is to try an "uncommon" delimiter. I tend to use a semi-colon. Geoffrey Howson, RN Clinical Informatics Analyst Information Systems CentraState Healthcare System Office: 732-294-2818 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen R. Smesny Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 12:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Talk] Datastation Problems I am trying to open a generic file in datastation. The file is a txt file downloaded from Meditech. The only way I have found to be able to open the file and my records open up properly is to open it as an excel file. If I open the file as a generic file my records do not show up in datastation. The file is formatted as follows: 123456 654321 789654 654789 345976 Each number should be a new record. Is it possible to tweak the .bds file to open this properly as a generic file? The problem is that the PC I will be running this script on does not have excel. So when the script tries to open the file I get a message stating that the machine does not have excel. How do I get this to work without having to install excel?
