Multiple Data Sources

Legacy Poster

Hi

I have created a Label Format - pa2-F
it currently accesses an Excel File (BT3) on the F Drive on the Server.

I also have a 2nd Excel File (BT1) with slightly differing data on my C Drive

I want both Files available simultaneously so I can toggle between the 2 Data Sources depending on what barcodes I want to print.
The Label Format remains constant; only the Data Source will change.

Any suggestions?

regards
pa2

  Hi pa2,
  BarTender doesn't have simple selection of Excel database.
  You can switch excel file by
  Open database setup (from print dialog / toolbar), Option tab > Setup > Datasource, paste full path to the excel file.
  
  However - I think create two copy of btw files (one connect to C\:\BT1.xls, another connect to F:\BT3.xls) would be easier.
  
  For text database like CSV file, you can specify database file by command line option /D="<path to csv file>"
  ex.
  "C:\Program Files\Seagull\BarTender Suite\bartend.exe" /F="F:\pa2-f.btw" /D="F:\BT3.csv"
  (Automation edition or above required.)
  Hope that helps!
