but where do you place SHELL statements?by (no login)do they have to be near the beginning of a program like COMMON or DECLARE statements? i looked at the link you supplied and checked out the COPY statement, but it really wasnt much help at all. there was NO mention of SHELL in the entire link, and every example of the commands i checked out looked as if they were typed in command-prompt, not in a QB program. or maybe im just reading it wrong? |
