Neil, I am doing OK with connecting and updating Progress via Merant. However there are some major bugs IMHO. Here is a sample question that I posted in an ADO forum I tried to optimize my select statement and wound up changing records that I did not expect to change. Is this a BUG of...

I found many bugs in the Progress/Merant 3.6 driver. Mainly when trying to create or update records. The errors were rarely helful. You can go into the control panel and turn on logging. The messages in the log file tell you much more than the ones returned to VB. Because of all the bugs, I was...

I don't know if I can answer you question. However I have had some recent experience with ODBC and VB. I am writing an application in VB that needs to sync data with a Progress DB. I found that the Progress/Merant ODBC has many bugs! This forced me to purchase Merant's ADO to Progress software...

1) Get something like WinSQL (www.indus-soft.com) and make sure that you can browse the DB manually. 2) Under your Data sources in the control panel, turn tracing in and run a test program. Very often this file will contain the "REAL" error which does not get passed back to VB. Here is a...

I have heard of error detection tools, but that's about it. I really think that this is a bug in the Merant / Progress connection. I don't know which one or both may be at fault. Can this kind of tool help find out who is at fault? Would you recommend a particular tool that would help? I have...

I have been writing a fairly large VB application which connects to Progress on a Solaris server. I'm using the Merant ODBC client that comes with Progress. In VB I do my work with ADO to ODBC. I have found the results VERY inconsistent! Static recordsets get all the records, however give...

I played around with this method and I don't like what I see. Once you go into this mode, the program becomes very cryptic and unreadable. I was hoping to just reassign a buffer. I will stick with the "old fashioned" method, because code maintenance is very important to me. Thanks, Gary...

Simon, Thanks, That looks like exactly what I want to accomplish! Gary...

I have (2) identical tables (definition). Ex: cust and hist_cust. I want to write (1) browse routine and just set the buffer. define buffer tmp_cust for cust/hist_cust. I know that I could use an include file and compile it twice, However I am looking for a more clever method...
