database (FF/nexus) and Reportbuilder upgrade

edited January 2004 in General
I move from D4+FF2.13 RB version year 2000 to D7 Nexus 1 and the lates
Reportbuilder.
I had an application that stored report in the FF database. with new
reports, everything is fine after migration.

After migration on existing datas, it doesn't work because there is a call
to daffquerydataview; I change it to danxquerydataview but then a blockread
fails. I guess this is because the RB format changes.

Can someone that still use a recent version of reportbuilder save the data
to the new RB Format (version 7 I guess) in FF2 so that I can try again with
nexus after conversion.

regards


Didier

PS: I wanted to attach the ff2 files in the binary newsgroup but there is
none. I did my best to compress the datas. Sorry for the 29K.

    Hi Didier,

    In the future, if you would like to send us an attachement, please send it
    to support@digital-metaphors.com and we'll take a look at it.

    As a first step to getting this working is to convert your existing report
    templates to the newer version using RB 7. I would suggest saving the
    report files from your old database to file, loading them in RB 7, then
    loading them into a new blob field in your new database. This way you can
    be sure the formatting is correct when trying to load these templates in RB
    7.
