L.J., RE: " Is there something that can be done with the mapping to allow mapping a field not in the file with a command line argument? " Not to my knowledge.
However here are a few ideas.... 1) Edit the mapping file before you call arimportcmd. (This could be scripted so that you call a wrapper script that does this and then calls arimportcmd too.) 2) Edit the CSV file before import. 3) Do a second import (maybe to a display only form) so you can do one or more push actions to "map the records that are not yet mapped" to the "record that had the CSV file". 4) On import(MERGE) have a filter "look up" the record that spawned the import process. (Assuming that this will be automated and that the import process is done via a Run Process action.) Note: If you can not do a select of Form A based on the data in the file then you might need to create a "queue/log" form that holds a record that says "Form A", Entry "000000000000001" is waiting for it's CSV children records. [ The only problem there is if you can get two of these things going at the same time. ] HTH. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....

** ARS 6.3 Windows 2003 I have Form A that contains an attachment field that has a csv attached to it I want to import the records into Form B from the csv attached to Form A and I want to have the records in Form B associated with the record in Form A I've got all of the procudures completed except how to associate the records in Form B with the record in Form A. Is there something that can be done with the mapping to allow mapping a field not in the file with a command line argument?
