VI Help - Not returning any data

SOLVED

We are trying to setup a VI export job to bring out 10 fields from the AP_PaymentHistoryWrk table.

We do see data in the AP Payment History report which uses this table so I'm not sure why the VI export is blank.

The job is setup as follows:

We have nothing configured on the Select or Sort screens.  I will eventually filter it down to only return the data for the past 14 days but first I need to figure out why it's not returning anything.

The resulting text file will be used to bring the details into another system for outside review.

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

    A WRK table?  A WRK table is a temporary table used when generating the actual report.  And when it is used, the actual table populated is something like AP_InvoiceHistoryWrkJAS021507991840.M4T.  Bottom line, the VI will never work.  I would suggest you pull from the actual history tables or even use an Excel query to pull the data.,

    Thank you, I didn't realize WRK meant it was a temporary table.  Unfortunately Excel or ODBC aren't an option at this point since we need to be able to automate exporting the data to bring in to another system which only supports text imports - or at least it's beyond our in-house skill set.  is the data stored in another table that I could export it from?  I couldn't see one that had all of the fields in the Sage docs and I'm new to VI so I'm not sure how (or if you can) combine data from different tables.

    AT this point, I recommend getting your reseller involved to assist.  What you are trying to do is not unusual so your reseller probably has done it for someone else.  We use Access to extract data into the desired file type, we use Sage Alerts and Workflows.  There are other tools as well.

    We unfortunately don't have a reseller.  I appreciate the info and advice, I'll keep playing with it and see what I can come up with.  Thank you.
