End User demo

rbuser

Hi

I have followed the ReadMe.doc. in the "RBuilder\Demos\4. EndUser
Databases\DBISAM\1. Native" folder, but when I
try to compile the rbISAM77.dpk, I get the following error :[Fatal Error]
rbISAM77.dpk(35): Required package 'db310d7r' not found.
I have searched my machine, there is no file with this name.

What have I missed ?

Thanks

I found that while the 'db310d7r' does not exists, a file named 'db405d7r'
was installed with the Enterprice edition, and I suppose this is the one
wich should have been referenced in rbISAM77.dpk ?

I have built the rbISAM77.dpk with the db405d7r, it compiled well, and
installed.
Have followed the EndUser tutorial in the DevelopersGuide.
When I try to "Generate" routine of the DataDictionary, a window flashes,
and nothing happens.

I have added a DBISamSession and a DataBase object to the form, tables and
DataDictionary points to these.
Tables, Database and session opens, tables shows data in a grid...

daIDE and daDBISAM are added to the uses clause.

What am I missing ?

Thanks

Hi Petter,

If you do not use the DataDictionary (i.e. Designer.DataSettings: remove the
DataDictionary reference) does the end user demo still work? If not, it may
be having trouble connecting to the DBISAM data. Check to be sure your data
is properly connected. In all of our testing here, the DBISAM demo seems to
work correctly.

Hi Nico

I got the EndUser demo to work, so I guess there is something missing in the
EndUser tutorial.
What about using the db405d7r.bpl when compiling the rbISAM77.dpk is this
correct ?

How shall I go about to open one of these "EndUser" generated reports, using
a ppReport and Template.LoadFromFile when there is no dataobjects or
pipelines assigned. Will I have to assign dataobjects at runtime based on
data in the supporteingtables?

(I want to use my own TreeView to display the reports in the same maner as
the ReportExplorer, when selecting a report here I would like to show the
report in a ppViewer). The EndUser demo has to many windows in order to
show/print the report .

Thanks
Petter

In my last posting, I wrote : "Template.LoadFromFile" , it should be
"Template.LoadFromDatabase"

Hi Peter,


Yes this is correct. Unfortunately the package was not updated for the
latest version of DBISAM. I apologize for this and will have it fixed for
the next release.

See the help for the TppTemplate.DataBaseSettings property. Defining these
settings then calling Template.LoadFromDataBase is the correct way to load a
report from a BLOB field without using the report explorer.
