Guide to AccPac's object for VB programming

[DavidMWilliams]

Is there an online resource somewhere to help me get started with programming AccPac in VB? Thanks!

None that I am aware of. Accpac does not have any reall good information on the subject either. search this forum for 'xAPI' or 'a4wcom.dll' or VB, etc, etc. You should find some threads that can help you get started (create and open a session object) and give you a few beginning pointers.

Otherwise, when you are stuck or have a specific question post it and we will see what we can do.

One thing that you can do is to record macros and see what has been recorded. It will give you the views that you need and show you how to properly compose view relation ships.

Thanks and Good Luck!

If you install the ACCPAC SDK you will find a small program, in the ACCPAC\Tools folder, called 'View Information'. This gives a data dictionary break down of all the views, view fields, field datatypes, default field values, possible field values, field masks, view relationships, indexed fields, key fields and the tables that the view can be found in.

It's the best tool that I have found for getting information on the views. It is also right there on my computer all the time.

Take Care,
