Do you use rbase to link the files to the database?
Here is a snippet of what I use to link the files to the line item in the
database.
SET VAR vefilename TEXT, vedir TEXT =(ENVVAL('userprofile') + '\Desktop')
SET VAR venewfilename TEXT, veloc INTEGER, velen INTEGER
SET VAR vefilename2 TEXT, veitemcnt INTEGER
SET VAR vefileexists TEXT, veyorn TEXT = NULL
--check for existing file
GETPROPERTY cfilename TEXTVALUE 'vefileexists'
IF vefileexists IS NOT NULL THEN
DIALOG 'File already is linked. Overwrite?' veyorn whtemp no +
CAPTION 'Link File'
IF veyorn = 'no' THEN
GOTO eendproc
ENDIF
ENDIF
--have user select the file and defaults to their desktop
PLUGINS loadfilename vefilename |fullpath on |TITLE SELECT file +
TO attach |view_mode list |initial_dir &vedir
--copy to folder
SET VAR venewfilename = ((CTXT(.VSupportID)) + (CTXT((JDATE(.#DATE)))) + (CTXT +
(IHR(.#TIME))) + (CTXT(IMIN(.#TIME))) + (CTXT(ISEC(.#TIME))))
SET VAR vefilename2 = (SRPL(.vefilename,'.',',',0))
SET VAR veitemcnt = (ITEMCNT(.vefilename2))
SET VAR venewfilename = ('\\servername\sharename\RecAtt\ST' + .venewfilename + +
'.' + (SSUB (.vefilename2, .veitemcnt)))
--copy to the network share and gives it a unique name
COPY .vefilename .venewfilename
--place link name in db
PROPERTY cfilename TEXTVALUE .venewfilename
LABEL eendproc
CLEAR VAR ve%
RETURN

Subject: [RBASE-L] - File location
My turn!
I need to make sure external documents are placed in the proper directory.
On the surface it's pretty easy.
However I have been running into some obstacles.
1. UNC/Mapped drive - machines on the network either use a UNC connection or a
mapped drive make it difficult to figure out the "home" directory
2. It appears (only occasionally) that the (CVAL('CURRDIR')) returns a
directory other that RBase if you have used the file explorer tool.
So I'm kind of looking for a fool proof way of making sure I have the proper
file location.
Suggestions?
