Import from user-specified pathname

[DanBrill]

Hello,

I have a database used by several remote users, and I'm adding new users to my list of clients. I'm continually creating updates of the database. I'd like to be able to ship the update to the users and have it import data from their old version.

The problem is that the pathnames to thier files will be different depending on how they installed the db, their drive letter, etc.

Can I create a script that will allow the user to import data from a pathname they specify? There are many files in the solution that need to be updated, so I'd like for them to be able to specify the path to the folder where the old version is located and let the script do the rest. That is, I don't want them to have to manualy specify the path to each file in the solution.

How can I get a script to import based on a pathname stored in a global field?

Thanks,

Dan

there is an import template in the import/export Forum.

Since it relies on relative pathnames, it should work on your solution as well....
