Hello,
I have a directory on my company network that contains multiple
directories that each hold different files, some are dbf files and some
are xls files. I need my Access 2000 users to be able to click an
Import File button on a form and then a list of the multiple
directories would appear and they could open the particular directory
they want and double click on whichever dbf or xls they need and it
would automatically import. I have been looking for some code to do
this but haven't found exactly what I need. I would appreciate any help
that can be given.

umm... Ken Getz's OpenSaveFile API at AccessWeb is your friend.
Then pass the result to whatever your import routine is...
Happy coding.

I don't have the solution but I do have a couple questions.
Is using the built-in Import function out of the question?
Assuming the answer to the first question is "no", do all the .xls files
have a layout that can be "automatica lly" imported without any tweaking?
If you have worked with importing .xls (I have not worked with .dbf)
you probably know that there are things to consider at import time,
e.g., which worksheet(s) to import, first row contains column
headings?, table name to create, which column(s) to index, what to do
about primary key, etc.
Just a thought.

Thanks for responding. I had not considered using the built-in Import
function. A friend mentioned that I needed to use the Dir Function. All
the .xls and .dbf files will be different, but will only be one
worksheet and the first row will always be the headings. I would like
to be able to give the table a name upon import. There is no concern
about the index so whatever works. There is a company_id that will
always be used as the primary key.
Your best bet (from the limited information you've given) is probably
to create an import specification, name it, and then use it in your
loop that imports all the files. Look around the NG for examples of
DIR and that should get you going. You essentially throw in a
TransferSpreads heet command inside the loop, and away you go.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
