Hello,

Does anyone know a Macro command in FactoryTalk View Studio to copy a Datalog database file to a USB drive or some other location?

I created an excel database to put all my Datalog information, but now want to create a button on the screen to copy that file to a USB drive or another location.

Thanks in advance!
 
With the macro command appstart you can call a external *.exe. You could download a copy program, and call it with appstart and pass the parameter (source, destiny).
Or use the Windows copy command.
AppStart C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c copy C:\temp\test.pdf C:\temp\test2.pdf

The other possibility is with vba, where you can call a external exe or bat file.
Call Shell("C:\test.bat")
