Unsure of filename being imported

[dreew]

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to allow the user to choose the name of a dBase file being sent for importing or linking into my database, but can't seem to get past the required argument TransferDatabase/Filename. I checked the help files for a while, and they weren't very helpful in showing this.<br>
<br>
Does anyone out there have a simple way to do this?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Drew

I don't have any dbase files to test on, but here is how I'd expect to do this:<br>
1) create a form with a textbox (or combobox with possible file names & path so user can't make error).<br>
2) use the option group wizard to allow them to choose a transfertype (link or import)<br>
3) use a button to allow the user to kick off the process:<br>
4) dim string variables for filename and option and set them = to the form's values.<br>
5) use the transfertext command, substituting the variables for literals.

Thanx Elizabeth...I'll give it a try
