If the intent is to not reprocess records …
I use the direct update to indicated the date and time that the record was
processed (and an error message if it couldn’t be processed).
When I read the file I’ll check to see if the update column contains a “:”. If
it does I know it’s already been processed and D.Next_ until I get to where the
process left off.
If InStr(1, Trim(D(F("ScriptNote"), True)), ":") = 0 Then
thanx, sherry

Greetings,
No, not really. Our model is to be non-invasive to the file.
If the file is an excel spreadsheet and you had opened it with direct update
set - then you could set the value of each field = “”
The setting would only “take” after the spreadsheet is closed unless you use:
D.T.Appl.Save after you do d.Next_
You can move the whole file to another directory when done using the D.Archive
(dir) command

Subject: [talkbws] Deleting records from datastation file
Is there anyway to delete a record from the Datastation file once it has been
completed?
I’m aware of setting the status to complete or done by using (D("Status") =
"Complete”, but I’d like to go further and actually delete the record once it
has been completed.
Thanks in advance!
