I am trying to work with our web administrator in bringing order information into RBASE using FTP. The FTP syncornizer creates an Excel file from the web then send that Excel file to our server. I then create code that brings that file information into RBASE using GATEWAY.
Here is the glitch. On the web side, the automated sync downloading the Excel file fires even if there is no info to send to us. That means I end up with a file that has a header row but no actual information to import. My GATEWAY just hangs up if there is no actual info to import. So my question. Is there some code or GATEWAY setting that can check an Excel file for info so it will not import? My web man says he cannot set up the FTP to NOT send files (if no info available) if it is automated to sync with my server at set times. The only other option is for the web to export to our server all the web traffic every time. That eventually will get to be a BIG file if our web traffic increases as we wish. Can anyone think of anything I can do on the RBASE end?
