If you'd like it placed elsewhere, let me know:

Thanks Mjordan2nd

Perhaps I wasn't clear, typing that into a command prompt should be the functionality you're looking for, does it work?

It is but it's something I need to have manually

If the dbf files are actually in dBase format, then appending them together isn't going to work as the dbf file structure starts with a header of information about the file's contents.

You'd either have to have a program to do it, or change your approach slightly, and instead of joining the files together, just have a lot of separate files for each run that you haven't completed. i.e. rename the database file once you have done the data entry, then when you do the next lot, the existing data won't get overwritten. If the program you are using to do the shipping needs a specific database file name, then just rename the file back when you are ready to do the shipping for that lot.

@OP: If you can't do it yourself, consider hiring someone. There is a job offers forum here.

Too bad that unless one says how much they are willing to pay, one's almost certain to find nobody willing to do it for them. But hey what can I say? Time is money.

I wasn't asking someone to do it for me, I was just wanting to here some suggestions on what language to do it in.... be it c+ visual etc.


I would pay someone if it was a bigger program that I needed, and also if I thought the program was way over my head.... I actually think I may have it but still not done, I went with programming in C++. And I'm using 3 different files.... Well see..
