Good morning,
I am trying to convert CHAR fields to DATE but I don't want to hadrwire the mask in the equation.
I have tried to wirte concatenate the variable with three and two "" but the result is the same.
Is there a way to let this work in this way? I am almost done with the macro and this is the last bit.
The bit coded is attached, thank you very much for your help.

I am using a comparable code as mentioned in this post:
http://ideascripting.com/forum/create-rdf-file-csv-import
The code works and imports my csv file. However, in my original csv file the decimal separator is ".". When I now open my IMD file I can see that these are character columns displaying for example 9987.5. When I manually do the import I can set the options as mentioned in this post:

Hi Brian,
I have a file with user rights assigned to roles.
I have another file which has the conflicting user rights. this file has 2 columns T code and conflicting T code. i.e. If T code is F41 and conflicting T code is F56 it means that roles which have F41 assigned and also have F56 assigned are conflicting.
There are more than 100 items for which such conflicts have to be found and around 2500 combinations. 

I am trying to wrap up some inputted value within a formula using the following bit.
Hi there,
I have two bits:
1) This works fine
Function Starters
Set db = Client.OpenDatabase("PAYROLL_DATABASE_COMPLETE.IMD")
Set task = db.Summarization
task.AddFieldToSummarize "PERSON_REFERENCE"
task.AddFieldToSummarize "SHORT_DESCRIPTION"
task.AddFieldToTotal "VALUE"
task.Criteria = "DATE_STARTED > @Ctod(""&dYear&"",""ddmmyyyy"")"
dbName = "Starters.IMD"
task.OutputDBName = dbName

I have the current import script:

Sub Main
Call ExcelImport()
End Sub

Function ExcelImport
Set task=Client.GetImportTask("ImportExcel")
dbName="C:\Desktop\myfile.xlsx"
task.FileToImport=dbname
task.SheetToImport="Sheet1"
task.OutputFilePRefix="Test"
task.FirstRowlsFieldName="True"
task.EmptyNumericFieldAsZero="True"
task.PerformTask
Set task=Nothing
End Function

Hi is there a way when using @isin or @isini to point to a list values stored in a different database?
I have a list of values created using the following code attached.
I need to sift through the GL transactions and pick up the transaction related to the names in the list.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Hi,
i'd like to know if there is a function or script to allow me to delete a file without name it (automaticly)
like the function Client.CloseAll

Thank you,

How to:
1) Prompt the user to insert dates or text
2) Use the variable inputted as factor within task formulas

I have a script that first backs up prior idea files before it creates new ones. Some files though are locked and even if I use an error handler, the script still brings up an error prompt. Is there a way to force unlock using the idea script or suppress this error message?
