Hi All,
I'm using the following command to open the db
fin.exe databse=e:\F.fdb+e:\F1.fdb+e:\F2.fdb+e:\F3.fdb+e:\F4.fdb+e:\F5.fdb+e:\F6.fdb+e:\F7.fdb+e:\F8.fdb+e:\F9.fdb+e:\F10.fdb+e:\F11.fdb+e:\F12.fdb+e:\F13.fdb+e:\F14.fdb+e:\F15.fd
16 2 Gb files
However I get this messgae when running the command 
---------------------------
Navision Financials

The texts below must not exceed a total of  characters.

'' +
''

---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I also tried encapsulating the filenames in quotes (") with the same result.
Is there anything else I could try?

Nav Version W!2.00C

Thanks

Albert

    CD to "e:\"
    Then "fin.exe database=F.fdb+F1.fdb+..."

    To shorten even more : change F1,F2,... to G,H,...

    To shorten even more (never tried changing the extention) : change the extension ".fdb" to ".f" so you can use "f.f+g.f+...".

    Hi Kriki,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did however manage to sort it out by copying all the db part onto an external drive with the same setup i.e. same foldername etc and was able to get into it by just opening the first part.

    As a matter of interest I will try your solution.

    Regards,
    Albert
