I have an access database that is data from audits done on pc's. The program dumps the data into one large table.

The columns I'm working with are the PC name and the Software installed. One PC has several different software packages installed.

I've written defines for the office packages
DEFINE FILE EZAUDIT
ACCESS/A3=
IF EZAUDIT.EXE_DLL EQ 'msaccess.exe'
THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO';
EXCEL/A3=
IF EZAUDIT.EXE_DLL DQ 'excel.exe'
then 'YES' ELSE 'NO;

Doing this works but I get 19 rows of NO's and the one Yes

How can I get this to be just one row like below

PCNAME ACCESSS EXCEL
pc1 yes no
pc2 yes yes
pc3 no no

Thanks so much

Is this what you want:
DEFINE FILE CAR
SEDAN/I1= IF BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN' THEN 1 ELSE 0;
ROADSTER/I1= IF BODYTYPE EQ 'ROADSTER' THEN 1 ELSE 0;
COUPE/I1= IF BODYTYPE EQ 'COUPE' THEN 1 ELSE 0;
HARDTOP/I1 = IF BODYTYPE EQ 'HARDTOP' THEN 1 ELSE 0;
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COMPUTE SEDAN/A3 = IF SEDAN GE 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO';
COMPUTE ROADSTER/A3 = IF ROADSTER GE 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO';
COMPUTE COUPE/A3 = IF COUPE GE 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO';
COMPUTE HARDTOP/A3 = IF HARDTOP GE 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO';
BY CAR
END
-RUN

Ginny,

Instead of using a whole bunch of COMPUTES and DEFINEs, try the following.

The key is to set the NODATA value to the word NO and to use the ACROSS sort on your EZAUDIT.EXE_DLL field.

DEFINE FILE CAR
THEYES/A3='YES';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM THEYES
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS SEATS
ON TABLE SET NODATA NO
END


Thanks!

Ginny, as mickey says, the cool thing about focus is that you can sum alphabetic fields, which you can't do in a microsoft app or a lesser app
SUM ACCESS EXCEL BY PC
ought to work just fine using your initial set of definitions
