Chris A suggestion, have your ace report send its output to standard out ( the screen ) and redirect that to a file. You will need a shell script wraper to generat unique files ids. A quick example. ## example shellscript ## set file name to rpt and current process id ($$) filename=rpt$$ sacego report >$filename Regards - Lester > > Anyone know how to pass a filename into an ACE report as an argument > so that multiple users can generate reports from the SAME .arc file > without overwriting what the other users have done? > > I can pass the file name into the .arc with no problem (using the param[] > stuff), but cannot get ACE to use it as an output file... > > Thanks in Advance, > Chris Hushour > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Chris Hushour Internet: cwh@evolving.com > Evolving Systems Incorporated > Englewood, Colorado > ############################################################################# # Lester Knutsen lester@access.digex.net # # Advanced DataTools Corporation Voice: 703-256-0267 # # Grant group privileges for Informix databases with DB Privileges # #############################################################################
