These are the steps in Impromptu 6.0. I have no idea if it would be different in 7.0
1) Save the text file and put it someplace you can find. Make sure the file is no longer open.
2) Go to the filter of your report and add
a) AND account-number IN (
b) click on "prompt manager"...
DoubleD's solution works well if you can generate your list of account numbers with a query. However, if you have some "random" list of accounts, working from a text file may be your only option.
I've used a work-around (in Impromptu 6) a number of times for something like this....
Save your list of account numbers to a .csv or .txt file (one account number to a line). In your query, create a file picklist prompt for account number, pointing to that text file, where your filter says...
We upgraded directly from v4 to v6 a few years back. I know for a fact that all we had the users do was open up the v4 report in v6.
We tend not to have particularly complicated reports, but I don't remember that I heard of ANY reports that upgraded with problems.
Has anyone used Impromptu version 6 in conjunction with Office 2003? Are there incompatibilities? Cognos says they are incompatible, but admits they have not actually tested it because version 6 is no longer supported.
Any idea what we might need to be on the lookout for?
Thanks!
