Hallo Christian,
Your ADO Toolkit requires the Access Database file extension to be .mdb. However Access doesn't require the databases to be of this extension. Old versions of Access databases were based on Jet database engine. I've some application that uses Jet DB engine and multiple databases with various file extensions. The databases can be opened with your ADO Toolkit if I remove the file extension requirement from your code. Can you please consider removing the requirement for certain file extension so I can use unmodified version of ADO Toolkit in my code... Tomi |

If you can tell me, which file extensions you need, I'll put them on the list. Unfortunately you'll have to wait until June, because currently I'm in Florida and enjoy my holidays -------------------- künstliche Intelligenz ist besser als natürliche Dummheit!

Unfortunately you'll have to wait until June, because currently I'm in Florida and enjoy my holidays The databases I need to be able to read are of apl, tnb and mtb extensions. Actually I think the extensions are not any standard extensions but as Jet DB doesn't set any requirements for the DB file extension, the application author has decided to go with these extensions. Enjoy your holidays ps Have you thought of distributing your toolkit as a VIPM compatible package file? It would simplify my life a lot I can help you with the packaging if you need... |

Actually I think the extensions are not any standard extensions but as Jet DB doesn't set any requirements for the DB file extension, the application author has decided to go with these extensions. hmm ... that does not sound like a well known extension to me. Maybe the best way is to add a boolean "check standard file extension (TRUE)", so you can turn off the file extension check if you need. Enjoy your holidays for sure I do! I just had a bath in the gulf of mexico ps Have you thought of distributing your toolkit as a VIPM compatible package file? It would simplify my life a lot I can help you with the packaging if you need... sound like a good idea. What do I have to do to create a VIPM package? -------------------- künstliche Intelligenz ist besser als natürliche Dummheit!

sound like a good idea. What do I have to do to create a VIPM package? You need a build rule file like the attached one (unzip to see the package file). Easiest way is to open it with OpenG package builder alpha and build openG package using it. This post has been edited by Tomi_Maila: 20. May 2008, 17:55

I created an example VIPM package from ADO-Toolkit with OpenG Package Builder. The example is a ZIP file that contains

Tomi thanks a lot and what do I have to do to spread that file with the VIPM? ... I'll build the Packages for LV 7.1x after my holidays. BTW: there is an OS restriction: the ADO toolkit only works on windows -------------------- künstliche Intelligenz ist besser als natürliche Dummheit!
