Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

when I want to add logs to numerous activities there is an easier way in which to do this in Lotus1-2-3. however my problem is that I can import the activities into Lotus 1-2-3 but once I have added all my log info I cant seem to export it back into P3? What am I doing wrong?? I have tried numerous ways.

Hi Neeraj!

My pleasure. Anyway, the script was wrong. It should have been:

"file://drive:pathlongfilename.extension"

Sorry for the inaccuracy. I hope this helps.

regards,

Jorge Taguinod

Mr. Jorge!
Many thanks to you for File Linking operation. I needed it to attach method statements for certain critical activities.
:D

Possible problems:

1. You tried to write the file yourself. Soln - export a file, fill it out and then import back. I recommend using the dbase format. You can use MS Excel to open this format.

2. You may have exceeded the log width. Up to 48 chars only.
3. You may have exceeded the number of logs. Up to 99 lines only, please.

Alternatively, you can just attach files to activities using logs. Use this format if you want to do this:

"file://pathlongfilename.extension"

Good luck!

Jorge

The method which works fine for me is to EXPORT the P3 data to a *.wk1 file, specifying the range of log records to be exported.

Make the changes in the wk1 file and in P3 use this file to IMPORT the revised data.

As I said seems to work fine for me
