Data Dictionary, DBISAM and problem

rbuser

I am fairly new to RB, just started working with the Enterprise edition
I purchased. Everything seems fairly straightforward, although I cannot
seem to get the DataDictionary to work.

Everytime I attempt to use the Fields, Tables and Join tables in the
report, it simply returns the field names of those respective tables and
not the physical tables themselves. Maybe I am not understanding
correctly how this works.

Standalone DataSources, Tables and Pipelines for a single table work
fine, without problems.

The BuilderSettings are set to the database.

I have installed the latest daDBISAM already and it is accessible at
design-time. I am using DBISAM 3.02 C/S with the latest RB.

There is a pretty good explanation of how it all should work in the RBuilder
help file. Look for DataDictionary in the help file's index. There is also
some good info in the Developer's Guide, which also is located in your
installed RBuilder directory.

Thanks, but I have read all that documentation before posting here
including the Help files and the PDF for Developers.

Each time I attempt to use the DD in my project I get the fields for the
Fields/Tables instead of the data for the respective tables referenced
by those Tables.

I believe I have followed everything in the docs.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I did everything correctly and it works good. It was my lack of
understanding of how it works. I expected to see the tables in the
designer dropdown, without a query when using a data dictionary. As
this is how it works with regular pipelines, without a dictionary. Its
the simple concepts I have trouble understanding .
