Can I append to a CSV file using RDC export?
Hello everyone,
I need to find out if using RDC export to a CSV file, if it is possible to open a current CSV file and append to it....
I have an application that creates a new crystal report for each bill it processes...then appends that report to a PDF file.
I need to create an export file/table from those crystal reports to get a complete list/table of all the bills in one table.
Sorry for the run-ons...Can someone help...thanks.

Not even using the RDC component at runtime?
Not even then - RDC still uses the same export dll's that you use from the viewer.
As Ido said, your application can extract the same data and append to files or you can export from Crystal and then open the exported file and append it elsewhere...

Another alternative is to create or use one of the 3rd-party UFLs to write to a text file.
However, appending text files is trivial. Why is this not a good solution for you?

In response to IDO:
We need a CSV file to send via net to an ecommerce exchange.

Regardless of the reason that you need the file, the answer is the same. If you want to create a single file you'll have to write code to do it - unless you can find and use a 3rd party UFL.
Once the file is created you can process it for any purpose you'd like but Crystal alone isn't going to create a single file for you.
