I'm trying to use the programming below.  It seems to work fine when I am in the Preview mode of Designer.  However, when I try to use the same programming from my application, I get an error message that "ASCII Export failed to create the file..."

Any ideas why this is happening?



#include "sbasic_include.sbas"

var vRt as String

/*
Arguments:
filename
custom seperator character
custom delimiter character
tabbed
use custom sep
no sep
ignore fixed
all
none
use custom delim
header
*/

     vRt = @SpecCommand(SPEC_OPERATION_LOAD, SPEC_TYPE_EXPORT, "All Data")
     vRt = @SpecCommand(SPEC_OPERATION_RUN, SPEC_TYPE_EXPORT, "S:\sesame2\data\samples.txt", ",", """", "0", "1", "0", "0", "0", "0", "1", "0") 

No.  I generally do not set any of the options to "Yes" when I reconcile.

The programming is tied to a command button.  When I click on the button, the All Data spec is loaded, but the file creation does not occur.

I know that the All Data saved spec is being loaded because I see the various elements are selected in the menu tree section for Exporting data.

As it is now, I click on the command button, get the error message, close the error message then run the export command using the menu tree function.

The four quote marks are how I was able to create the text in the properly delimited txt file.

The heart of my question is, why does it work in Designer Preview mode but not in the active Sesame mode?

Bingo!

Yes, the designer is loaded on my laptop, so it the network isn't involved.  Sesame is run in client/server on the network.

If this is the issue, how do I work around it?
