Import data file from DB

rbuser

RB 10.04, Delphi 7, DBExpress

Hi, I am unable to import an DTM file from my database -- an "Invalid
Template Error" is generated. I can sucessessfully import one from a file,
however.

I did a quick look on Tamarack and found this thread:

"Re: Errors with RB10.01" from March 6 2006

and saw an IBExpress user had the exact problem and a patch was made
available. Is it possible that the same patch will help me? Has this
change been incorporated into the 10.04 release? Of course I mean to look
into this further but it is one of many problems I am working on right now.

Thanks.

More info -- when importing from file, Result = ftASCII as below:

function TppTemplate.StreamType(aStream: TStream): TppFormatType;
if IsValidASCIISignature(aStream) then
Result := ftASCII

When importing from the DB, the error is raised during this same function.

Hi Leah,

Thanks for the information. I was not able to recreate the exact error you
were getting however I did find an issue dealing with the loading of .dtm
files from the database with DBExpress. The Item and ItemUpdate client
datasets were not properly linked so the wrong template was being loaded. I
fixed the demo so this functions correctly now. If you would like the
patched demo, please send a request to support@digital-metaphors.com and
we'll send it to you as soon as possible.
