g00r00,

When using the menu commands FA what are the necessary parameters?

I'm currently doing MenuCmd('FA', '211') And that's not working as expected. I'm trying to change to a specific File Area. In this case, ID #211.

Which I'm pretty sure is incorrect, cause I don't think I 'd be sending a string of the ID of the base, when it's clearly an integer.

I'm basically trying to change to a specific File Area and then
do a MenuCmd ('FU', Filename)

Any help on this, would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you're using groups, then you'll want to switch to the proper group first with MenuCmd('FG','123') before you call your 'FA' command.

I'll give that a try. Thank you!

That looks right to me. Are you sure the user running the script has List
ACS access to that area? Of course something could be broken too, I just
don't have time to test it at the moment.

Hey it's alright. I understand. Maybe as time allows I could suggest a
feature to Mystic? Such as being able to attach a file to a message. I know there are other packages that do it, but someone has asked me to write a File Mail type thing. I would basically work the same way as Email, however it'd
be for files. Basically all it'd do is look at a data file and see if the username in the data file matches the current online user. If it does, the
user would be told him/her have a File waiting. It's nothing real important, but just thought I'd mention it.

After thinking it thru, I ran into another problem anyways. As i stated in another message I was creating an invisible File Area and the user would be able to download from it. However then I realized in order for that to happen the file would have to have been uploaded to the BBS already. Just a thought, Let me know what you think.

Thanks!
