<DIV>Frank,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While I was the IT mgr for an accounting firm, we did all our compilation work in filePro. Each client was assign a new qualifier. Format "A12".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We had to create the qualifier files from 25 files for each qualifier. What we did was set up a master set using qualifier "zzz". I created a simple batch file (doqual.bat %1) %1 = the qualifier code. Very simple under Windows. I would expect the same under *nix. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One hint, assuming you are NOT using data files just key files; make sure that your master set's data files have at least 1 byte. That way they will be copied. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I used xcopy with a /s /e. If you are on *nix that won't mean a thing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helped,</DIV>

<DIV> I am in adding 5 qualifiers to an existing Filepro system....The process of adding them is very tedious.</DIV>
<DIV>is there a way to add these qualifiers to all the filepro files via a script or any other way?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
