Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    A5V8 Enterprise - QODBC V8 RW - Quickbooks Enterprise 8: What am I doing wrong?

    I'm playing around trying to get a feel for how things work. I am starting with a simple Alpha Five project that will add some database features to what is available with Quickbooks.

    I have all of the most recent updates for the tools shown in the thread title.

    I have spent several hours trying to get past the following problem but nothing I try works. I'm sure the solution is simple. Please help! If you need more info, let me know. Thanks! ~Dave

    Import QB Table Data via AlphaDAO

    I have searched for and done my best to follow the instructions for setting up a passive-link (QB) table. I can import the complete Customer table (using "SELECT * FROM Customer") or a single column SELECT but as soon as I try to import (SELECT) 2 or more columns from the table, I get one of these two errors...

    (This is the error that I get when I setup a multiple column SQL SELECT Statement such as: "SELECT ListID, FullName, CompanyName FROM Customer" and use the "Preview records to be imported" link)...

    Script:UI_DLG_BOX:Specify SQL to Select Records line:172
    previewRecordsInAdHocDataSource(lv)
    Property not found

    (This is the error I get when I try and run the operation/script)...

    Error running Import Operation
    Script:TEMPLATEline:29
    p = a5_AlphaDAO_Import(coinnectionString,a_import,options,flasSilent,args)
    Property not found

    Note: Line 29 is the last line of the XBasic that was created. I have copied the XBasic (that gives the 2nd error) below...

    dim connectionString as c
    connectionString = "{A5API='ODBC',DataSource='QuickBooks Data',A5Syntax='QuickBooks'}"

    delete options
    dim options as p
    options.ConsolidateArguments= .t.
    options.AddTablesToDatabase= .t.
    options.ShowProgress= .t.
    options.AllowCancel= .t.

    delete a_import
    dim a_import[0] as p

    a_import[].ObjectName = "Customer"
    a_import[..].SQLSelectStatement = "SELECT ListID, FullName, CompanyName FROM Customer"
    a_import[..].SQLType = "Portable"
    a_import[..].Arguments = ""
    a_import[..].ImportType = "Create table"
    a_import[..].LocalTableName = a5.get_path() + chr(92) + "Customer"+".dbf"
    a_import[..].LocalTableFieldDef = ""
    a_import[..].OverwriteOption = "Prompt before overwriting"

    dim flagSilent as l
    flagSilent = .f.
    delete p
    dim p as p
    p = a5_AlphaDAO_Import(connectionString,a_import,options,flagSilent,args)

    There was an earlier discussion about an append operation and QODBC - it seems that it will not work under the latest patch.

    Suggest you go back to an earlier patch.

    I have tried with the newest patch 1902-3137 and get the same message. I went back to 1874-3133 and it works as it should.

    Here is the post for your reference

    http://msgboard.alphasoftware.com/al...ad.php?t=71111

    It was suggested in that post that a bug report should be sent - don't know if it was or not. You could find out by posting to that thread.

    In the meantime go back to 1874-3133.

    If you don't have that here is a place where you can get it and all patches if need be

      Re: A5V8 Enterprise - QODBC V8 RW - Quickbooks Enterprise 8: What am I doing wrong?

      Thanks Tom. If I recall, I can simply install the older patch and it will revert me to the older build (no need to uninstall and reinstall, etc)? Please confirm.

      Also, I am not yet knowledgeable enough to discern if the root of my problem would be the same issue as the earlier post. I guess the proof will be if the downgrade fixes the issue!

      Thanks again. ~Dave

        You can just run the old patch again. You don't have to uninstall and reinstall. Just run the earlier patch as you would any other patch.

        I ran your code against my quick books and it worked.

          Holy crap! That was it! I worked all of last night and most of today trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks Tom, you saved me from wasting the rest of the weekend! ~Dave
