Mike,<br>
<br>
I have no idea if the fpmerge sub-directory ever existed (new
client), I <br>
just created it to make sure that, if needed, filePro does not
fail.<br>
<br>
Curious enough, if it were to fail because the sub-directory did
not <br>
exist, why did the process run without error? (I put @ at the
beginning <br>
of the menu command to force a pause)<br>
<br>
I did do what you suggest and still nothing is created, when I
step it <br>
through debug, I see the export being executed, fields populated
and <br>
"write" command is reached ...<br>
<br>
<br>
fn="c:\appl\fpmerge\jose.csv"<br>
export ascii exp = (fn) -x<br>
<br>
<br>
Besides, this process has been working just fine for years, it
just <br>
decided to stop.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

c:\appl\fpmerge\jose.csv (after creating fpmerge of course), ran
the process and nothing ... file is not created and yet, the
export command is executed, data is assigned to columns and the
write command is reached.<br>
