I need to copy records from several different tables into one text file.
Although the tables have many common fields, they also contain several that
are different from table to table. I can copy and paste the dissimilar
records manually into the text file, so it would seem that should be
possible to do programatically .
I set up export specifications for each of the twelve tables and tried to
export each to the same text file. This resulted in the first tables records
being exported, but nothing at all happened with any table after that. Not
even an error message. (I switched the order of the exporting and each time
only the first table would export.) I next tried seperate export files for
each of the tables in the export specifications and that worked, but I had
twelve seperate text files. I also tried a TransferText on queries, but that
too resulted in only the first queries records being exported to the text
file and none after that.
So now I'm thinking the only way to do this is with some code and I haven't
a clue as to where to start. Can somebody give me a big shove in the right
direction, or does anybody know of a sample of something similar that I
could look at?
Thanks.

Let's say T1 has fields F1, F2, F3
T2 has fields F1, F2, F3, F4
YOu could
Select F1, F2, F3, Null As F4 From T1
UNION ALL
Select F1, F2, F3, F4 From T1
to combine the two tables together.
Would this concept work?
Sounds like a good time for a loop.
Dim iFile as integer
iFile = FreeFile
Open sScrFile For Output As iFile
'Perform this loop for each table
for X = 1 to 12
...Open your table, write to an array or directly to the text file
i.e. Print #iFile, SomeFieldFromSo meTable
next X
Close #iFile

I have a pretty straightforward database that is designed to record
free-form information about products (date, source and a memo field).
This is searched and updated via a form. For new records, the memo
field is usually filled by cutting and pasting from e-mails, web

The only problem is that some of the memos can be just a few words,
and some can be tens or hundreds of lines, and I've realised that

I hope this is on-topic in c.l.c - it's about the C preprocessor more

I'd also appreciate some ideas on how to get the 2nd and 3rd lines...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
