I had just always assumed that the text file option for the data
base controls required a uniform file format like RANDOM requires. I
have some coding I have to get done today, but I would like to know
for future use if anyone else knows if a file with a header record
would be a problem using a database control on a text file. I can
always strip the header if I have to, but if it is truly flexible
enough to support multiple record types in a text file that would be
great.
BTW Shawn I am limited to using formats that the customer and my
boss request. I could convert everything to databases then back
again, I would just like to avoid that.
I am pressed for time but I would like to reply to your other
comments later on...
Also, the specific example of my loop problem is that I am
reading a file and checking for errors, which involves reading a
record and processing it and then going to the next record in your
typical do until eof loop. When an error is found I wanted then to
present the user with a list of errors and a listbox showing the
values that were read, letting them click on the list box and
changing the values, etc, then continuing the loop (going on to check
next records)... the problem is I can't be stuck in the loop while I
am monitoring all those click events and dealing with the error
changing process.
