How can I bring in tables to my present AREV 3.1 application that were created by another AREV 3.1 application on another server. I tried SET LOCATION (and then ATTACH) to read the directory where these tables are located but the new "set" location won't list these tables. Can the records contained in these tables be copied to another table within my present application?
SETALIAS VOLUMEPATH ACCOUNT TRUEFILENAME ALIAS
eg. SETALIAS D:\AREV SYSPROG VOC ORIGINALVOC

The Application/Account names have to be the same in order for an ATTACH to work or else use the SYSALIAS as Steve Smith has shown.
Sometimes you can extract the account records out of the SYSTEM file and place them into a GLOBAL file called SYSTEM_NEW. Then, go into SYSPROG attach SYSTEM_NEW and copy the records into system. Then you can start that app and attach. The reason for this is that sometimes creating a new application / user makes a lot of things in your REVBOOT directory which have to be cleaned up later.
