Okay, I%26#039;ll try to be as clear as possible.
I am working from a strictly DOS machine at work to do the company billing.
I export a file from QuickBooks place it on a 3.5 floppy and load it onto my DOS machine by using this command:
copy a:pb0507.csv \qbxfer
I then am suppose to change directories
cd \bprog
then
gwbasic
this loads the program I do my billing with.
I enter the imported file name PB0507.csv
I get path not found respons
Okay so it%26#039;s not finding the file in the QBXFER directory I%26#039;m guessing.
I did c:\dir and I see QBXFER but it doesn%26#039;t have it as a %26lt;DIR%26gt; like some others are listed.
When I try to run a dir on QBXFER all it says is %26quot;1 file%26quot; and how many bytes it has.
So my question is I want to get this file into QBXFER because the GW Basic program is looking in QBXFER for the file.
Too confusing??? Any Help???
Thanks!|||%26quot;copy a:pb0507.csv \qbxfer%26quot;
If on your screen was the prompt %26quot;c:\%26gt;%26quot;
you just managed to rename the file on your floppy into qbxfer in the root directory of C:
suggestion:
first
del c:\qbxfer
md c:\qbxfer
Now that is done you never do this again.
cd c:\qbxfer (and if your prompt was a:\%26gt; type c: )
Now type
copy a:pb0507.csv
cd \bprog
gwbasic|||Add the directories containing the file to the PATH statement in Confgsys or Autoexec.bat
