You shouldn't need these files. Try compiling without them being included.
I'm running the AstaRBDemo project from ASTA and it works fine. I haven't
downloaded it recently as I don't think it has changed. Are you using this

The database name is saved down inside the template inside each dataview.
This way when the dataview is streamed up, it can find its connection.
You'll have to edit the internal dataview definitions to work with the new
connection. Th… -

Check the BuilderSettings property of the data dictionary. It is probably
incorrectly set. Make sure you can set the session type to an ADO session

What version of RB are you using? Try using RB 7.02 if you aren't already.
You can test with the trial edition 7.02 downloadable from our website.

You can access the meta data manager and ask it to get the tables. Here is
the call from daSQL.pas which does this:
gMetaDataManager.GetTables(FSession, FDataDictionary, FDatabaseName,
lTables);
The session is the Tda… -
Can you create a new report and a new version of the same dataview? Make
sure you can do this in order to test that you have the datasettings
correctly configured- it may be that the database name changed in your

Try disconnecting the data dictionary and make sure
Datasettings.UseDataDictionary is set to false. If that doesn't fix it, then
it sounds like your data settings changed. Are you changing the datasettings

Are you using RB 7? Not all of the DADE plugins have been made compatible
with RB 7 from RB 6. You'll have to convert the DADE plugin to be
threadsafe. We had to change the interface of the ancestor query dataview
class to support thr… -
Where do you want the memo to be displayed? Ususally it will be in the title

it should be easy to create that band dynamically and create a memo in it

Use a memo control and call Report.GetAutosearchDescriptionLines. It is
documented in the help file. There is also a demo in the main autosearch

Go to the SQL page of the query designer for each dataview. There is an edit
box that you can use to rename the dataview.

Please do not cross post. I answered this in RAP newsgroup because that is
where I saw it first. DADE would have been a better NG though, but it's ok:)

Are you using dataviews in the report when connecting to Advantage? Make
sure that when you try to load the template from that you include daADS and
that you can connect to the Advantage database to get the data for the
report. A refe… -
A hidden feature of Autojoin is that it will work to autolink the dataviews
when you create the dataviews in the right order so that instead of
performing a join in a single dataview, it can also help to link master

One thing I can think of is if Autojoin is true. Make sure you don't have
backwards entries in the data ditcionary that would cause the Autojoin
feature to automatically link the dataviews in the reverse order.
Cheers,
Your DADE plugin should not handle the linking stuff, but rather just manage
getting the info for connecting to the database, tables and fields. It
should always perform an inner join when you are linking dataviews. Can you

template for them. There are examples of this which also use autosearch on a

(including the temp tables) into a Memo on a form. This is what you'll have
to add in the DADE plugin to be able to use the temp tables as real tables

the database. See the GetTableNames method in your DADE plugin. Is there
