[AccessD] OT - Oracle Discoverer OLE and Access

I don't think I'm communicating correctly - the csv file is not the
issue.  The issue I'm trying to resolve is communicating with Discoverer
to perform the EXPORT - those are the commands I can't seem to find.
 
What I did find, and what seems to work OK - is running from the
command line, such as:  C:\DevSuiteHome\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect
USERNAME/Password at ConnectionName /open "U:\Suppliers\Oracle\Oracle
Reports\Ext_Exp_Other.dis" /export CSV "U:\Suppliers\Oracle\Oracle
Reports\Ext_Exp_other.csv" /batch
 
I can call this from within Access and it works - just didn't seem to
be the optimal solution.

Hi John and Terri

In the normal sense they cannot be updated.
However, as long as the file is not opened by, say, a query in Access,
they can be regenerated (by VBA code or TransferText) and simply
copied
over the old file. When opened next time by Access, the revised data
will be present - even if they are linked.

Not very fancy but it works.

Yes, but CSV files are just comma delimited files and cannot be
updated
(which the email said was needed).

Hi Terri:

CSV files are basic spreadsheet data. It can be read by Excel and
Access.

I am attempting to get information from a Discoverer report exported
to
a
CSV file and then pulled into Access - the data is complicated which
is
why
I'm using this process.

I have code setup in Access that opens/runs the applicable Discoverer
report
but I don't know the commands to export via code to a csv file. 
I have a link from Access to the csv file - but need to update the csv
routinely.

Anyone have any documentation that shows the commands for Discoverer??

I have a document entitled "Oracle Discoverer OLE Automation
Developer's
Guide", but it doesn't include any commands for exporting. 
I've also posted on the Oracle Metalink site, but thus far have no
responses.

Thanks for any help.  I appreciate it.
