    How to register library/reference from vba code?

    I have used zip files that includes runtimes for installs, but only if the target has no Access installed. Well, I do have some interop apps that have constants, so do you suggest hardcoding magic values as a workaround?

    How to register library/reference from vba code?

    Thanks for the explain on why to use late binding and not having to register assemblies on target machines. I have been using early binding in my dotnet interface code. So to use late binding I have to change: Public Function QBOTest() ' Our .NET interface Dim qbo As...

    You cant use SSMS for that. Like with anything new, read the documentation. If it's in French, then use translate, unless you know French? You have to find out if that engine can recognize your file. That OpenText Gupta hopefully includes utility tools for mounting, reading, repairing data...

    I think Access 2010, or was it 2013? can open dBase files? However, I strongly suspect its an SQLBase file. Hope you have luck with the owner.

    I also conserved the yellow colored punched paper tape that stores the first BASIC program I wrote in high school. A program for finding Perfect Numbers. We had an old Teletype Model 33 terminal with a 300 baud dialup modem that connected to a GE Mark II Timesharing System in Dartmouth, MA. The...

    Does the owner still have access to the computer that was being used to maintain that data, or knows how to contact the person(s) that gave him the file, or he just had that file and nothing else available?

    I think you will have to install SQLBase, Gupta, or the SQL Anywhere tool, to be able to mount that file and export the data. Search the web and see where you can get them, hopefully for free.

    Try SQLBase since its a DBS filetype. There are other tools, such as SQL Anywhere which could also open it. Where are you planning to migrate the data to?

    I'm currently not migrating any customer's data. You first have to get the db server, or tool, that can read that file so you can export the data to a csv text file.

    I thought Microsoft bought out Sybase and used it to develop SQL-Server back in the early 1990's?

    I did a hex dump and the data is in Czech language. I saw SQL System Catalog names and "PERCENTFREE" which I have seen used as Oracle index file directives when creating tables. The initial data towards the begining of the file has a similar signature to other Oracle VAX/VMS versions I have seen...

    Razor opens Informix C-ISAM .idx and their corresponding.dat files. I have seen SYS$ prefix filenames before on DEC VAX/VMS db's such as Informix and Oracle.

    To me, Access 97 was the first version that provided robust VBA for building functionally rich apps. I include several standard modules in all my Access apps that were built with Access 97 by Ken Getz (RIP).
