    Dilema when having to change universe for a given report... any help?

    Hi, Thanks for your answer. Yes, all the db specific functions would have to be modified, but this is not a problem. It still would consist of modifying just the universe. As for the BO mapping of objects, it does not seem to be based on the class. I changed universe for a data provider...

    reuse in VB the connection defined in Designer

    reuse in VB the connection defined in Designer

    Yes, in theory I should be able to do it with designer sdk, but I don't see how, I don't see anything that leads me to the connection... Did you manage to get the connection password by use of code? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion Toni

    define a connection in a dll/ocx?

    Hi, I am using Business Objects (5.1) for reporting on a SQLServer db. Within BO I am using some VBA macroes, which connect to the db using ADO 2.8 . The VB macroes perform a few requests and fill the BO prompts with values. My question is: How can I connect to the db without hardcoding the...
