Title: Does not work no matter what I do
Post by: (Unregistered Guest) on September 05, 2005, 12:40:10 PM
I downloaded MultiDatabaseControl.zip and it does not work. No matter what I do it will not connect. I have tried the Access 2000 db in the .zip file, I have tried MySQL, nothing works. Where's the other project you mentioned for using the .dll instead of the .ocx? It is not there. I am totally frustrated. This project needs to be debugged before making it available.

I am unable to register the ocx; the bat file you mentioned is missing in zip folder.  
'RS Multi Database Connection' option is not found in the componant or reference of my IDE.why is that?
where can I learn mor about Multi-user database connection?

RS Multi Database is a component or a reference only after it is registered. It indeed does work we use it all the time here. It is the basis for one of our software products. Did you use it with the contained dbviewer project to see how it is used? We do have another working project on the website that uses it also. You can look at the Import DBase IV files into an Access 2000 Database on https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html (https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html)
 
We forgot the regit.bat file. We have included it a reuploaded the project. Please update your copy.
 
Everything is there for both working projects we have just double checked and they do indeed work. Please let us know of your progress.

Here is a sample project that uses the OCX.

The Multi Database Control has been updated with samples of the usage of both the DLL and the OCX. You can download it from https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html (https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html)
 
You must copy the dll/ocx to your C:\Windows\System32 folder and then register it. Then you can open the project and everything should be OK. If you open the project before you register the file(s), you will have to re-add and select the reference/component.

Thank you for your timely responce.I downloaded the new dbControl zip and registered the ocx using the bat file. Now 'RS Multi Database Connection' is in the reference list. But it is not in the components list.
I did not get the dbviewer project you mentioned. Where can I download it? the program i tried to open is the concurrency checking.

jojom,
 
https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html (https://randemsystems.com/freeware.html)
 
Go to Multi Database Control 3.1
 
It is there. The registered DLL will appear in the Reference list and the Registered OCX will appear in the Components list. Make sure all other references to theses components are removed from the registry first. You can use InnoScript to do this. Install InnoScript and go to view References/Components then find Multi Database Connection then mark them for deletion. Then register the new components. There may be more than one reference to these objects in your registry.
 
InnoScript can be downloaded from https://randemsystems.com/innoscript//

I downloaded the multidatabase project you have recently posted. I could register it with the bat file and the option appears in the components and reference.  
One problem that persist is some debug error in dbView of multidatabase folder and also of the dll folder( In the formload event). The error is found in the ocx folder when foxpro is selected(in the function Opensource)

Could you supply me with the foxpro database you are using and tell me what driver you have installed. I will look into this error. What was the exact error message that you saw?
 
Any other info will help also.

The error I mensioned was not the one I get when I tried to use the control in my application. It is the error I get When I open the sample project(which is in the zip You provided) in the IDE and run it.When I run the dbviewer.dbp (that is in the folder named ocx)and choose the options for different database connections it works but when I choose the foxpro option the debug error displayed in the code section I mentioned. Is it because the foxpro database sample is not included in the zip?

There is no Foxpro database in the sample as well as no SQL Server database or mySQL database. It will connect to those databases if you have them and the appropiate drivers installed.
