data dictionary -- generating fields and joins -- access violations

rbuser

I am trying to create a data dictionary. The table names generated with no
problems, but when i try to generate the field names, i get an access
violation error. I am, however, able add the field names one-by-one. when I
try to generate joins, i get the same error. i am not able to create any
joins.

i'm not sure where to start on this one... any ideas?

Try going to the tables page and cleaning up the tables that are defined.
There is probably an incorrect table in there, like a system table.

i deleted a few tables and got the same error. even if i try to generate
fields from one table, i get the same error.

What version of RB are you using- v6.03? If you create all of the fields
manually, is there one record which is causing the problem? What database
are you using? Do our demos work for your specific database you are using
(RBuilder\Demos\Enduser\Autojoin)?

Using 6.02 professional. i can add any fields to the field list, but i still
cannot do any joins. I am using Interbase. the data dictionary tutorial
worked fine. is there a demo for interbase data dictionary i can look at?

You should be able to run the Data Dictionary for the Interbase example in
the EndUserDatabases demo directory. There is a SQL script to create the
end user tables in the Interbase directory.

the same thing happens when i try to generate field names in the demo data
dictionary. the tables generate with no problems, and then i get the access
violation error when i try to generate field names.

I ran our script to create the interbase tables for the end user report
project. I made sure that I could connect to all of the tables at delphi
design time, then launched the data dictionary builder. Created the tables,
fields and joins by using the Generate all possible combinations. I created
some reports and previewed data with no problems. Whcih exact version of
Interbase are you using?

Win 2K
D6
RB 6.03
IB6 server/client which shipped with the Delphi 6 CD.

I am running

Win 98
RB 6.02
D 5
IB 6.0.0.627

I have had no problems generating fields and joins with an ODBC data source,
so this seems to be an InterBase problem.

Are you connecting via the BDE or DBExpress? I used a fresh copy of the
Employee demo database supplied from the Interbase installation. I
recreated the RB_ tables and ran the datadictionary from Delphi 5 with RB
6.03- no problems. Can you upgrade to RB 6.03- it's free. Contact
info@digital-metaphors.com with your full registration information for the
download link. I would suggest reinstalling the demo Employee.gdb database
from the Interbase cd and copy it to ..\Borland Shared\Data directory where
our EU demo looks to find it.
