File to vMedia - File to a Specific Database

Overview

File to vMedia supports the ability to direct a document or all subsequent documents to a specific vMedia database.

How to Configure

NOTE: The command prefix can be FileTovMediaDB= however, the command prefix of FileToImageMasterDB= will continue to be supported for backwards compatibility.

  1. Start WordPerfect and edit the desired merge form document.

  2. Position the insertion point anywhere within the document (The top of the first page is typical but not a required position for the Database Change command).

  3. From the WordPerfect menu, select Insert, Comment, Create. The Document Comment Editing window will appear.

  4. Type in the following:

FileTovMediaDB= {path to CF table\}XXXXXX

where:

FileTovMediaDB= is the required (see previous note) command prefix and XXXXXX is the required 6 character vMedia Database/CF Filename Prefix.

{path to CF table\} is an optional path to the CF file. If not specified, the vMedia home directory is assumed.

  1. From the WordPerfect menu, select File > Close to close the comment and return to the document.

A WordPerfect document comment will be inserted in the document that contains the desired File to vMedia database change command. This comment does not appear on any printed or imaged copy, nor does it affect the document layout for purposes outside of File to vMedia.

How to Use

From the Collection-Master function Toolbar, select [File to vMedia] or manually execute File to vMedia by selecting Tools>Macro>Play and type File2vMedia as the macro to run.
