Okay, I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I am working from a strictly DOS machine at work to do the company billing.
I export a file from QuickBooks place it on a 3.5 floppy and load it onto my DOS machine by using this command:
copy a:pb0507.csv \qbxfer
I then am suppose to change directories
cd \bprog
then
gwbasic
this loads the program I do my billing with.
I enter the imported file name PB0507.csv
I get path not found respons
Okay so it's not finding the file in the QBXFER directory I'm guessing.
I did c:\dir and I see QBXFER but it doesn't have it as a %26lt;DIR%26gt; like some others are listed.
When I try to run a dir on QBXFER all it says is ';1 file'; and how many bytes it has.
So my question is I want to get this file into QBXFER because the GW Basic program is looking in QBXFER for the file.
Too confusing??? Any Help???
Thanks!Need some help with a DOS program GW Basic??
';copy a:pb0507.csv \qbxfer';
If on your screen was the prompt ';c:\%26gt;';
you just managed to rename the file on your floppy into qbxfer in the root directory of C:
suggestion:
first
del c:\qbxfer
md c:\qbxfer
Now that is done you never do this again.
cd c:\qbxfer (and if your prompt was a:\%26gt; type c: )
Now type
copy a:pb0507.csv
cd \bprog

Add the directories containing the file to the PATH statement in Confgsys or Autoexec.bat
