Converting existing reports from BDE
I have existing reports that were designed using the BDE. I am no
longer using the BDE and I have written my own plug in for Core Labs'
SDAC product. What is the easiest way to convert the reports?
Right now if I try to open the existing reports in the designer I get
the following exception message:
"Class TdaBDEQueryDataView not found"
Thanks

I have added back the daDBBDE unit to the uses clause, and I can
access the reports again, but I am having trouble now with the newly
created plugin.
It seems in looking at other plugins that the general method for
getting access to the connection object is to loop through all of the
forms and datamodules and look for an appropriately named component.
In my case the connection object is created at run time in code, and
is not a component that belongs to a form or datamodule.
What is the best way to gain access to the connection object? Once I
have the connection object, I can call its GetTableNames() and
GetDatabaseNames() methods.
Thanks,
Mike
Is this a plugin you are creating on your own? If not, which plugin are you
using?
This is how some of the plugins work to find all the connections on your
forms, but it is not necessary. You could customize this so the connection
object is set manually through code as you probably need.

Yes it is one I have created.
I got the connection working, but now when I go into an old report and
create a new dataview with the data settings set to the new plugin
type everything works fine until I close and reopen the report (even
after saving it). When I reopen the report the data settings are
blank and need to be reset. What do I need to do to have this
information saved in the report?
