Converting from 5.7

| Dennis LEVY 2006-02-09, 5:59 pm |
| Almost all of my programs in my DB+ 2.6 program have been rewritten and modified from my VDB5.7 code. In 2-3 cases though I want to convert some 5.7 code, for instance for an RMA program and my complete general ledger program. These I want to convert ove
r and then modify them. As to the RMA program, I use a BV55.cc, bv55.h, and a couple of other .h or .cc programs. I have included some as attachments. THese programs were written in vdb and contain \\\"this\\\" statements and other things that appear to
be incompatible with DB+. How can I convert these programs to work with DB+??? I have enclosed 2 of the files for example.

Hi Dennis,
Are sure you want to do that? I know if you are using Crystal reports,
the process is pretty straight forward if you follow the steps at my
website: www.maplesoft.net/crystal.htm , and if you have prg files
doing table manipulation and functions that will probably work ok, but
forms with one to many relationships and the like - have not worked
right for me. In most cases I rewrote my forms. and replaced my qbe's
with dmd's or actually I usually just drop the tables on the form and
set the relations there. The browse object works fine in 5.7, but in
32bit - it's unreliable or just does not work right from my experience.
Your talking about a general ledger program - it just scares me a
little that you'll end up with a lot of it not working right and
spending a lot of time debugging and modifying - I would make some
custom forms, etc... and then use those to rebuild the program in true
32bit fashion "not 16bit being interrupted". Just my opinion.
Thanks
richard
