How Do I connect to the Database from the COM API

[tchinedu]

Hey Guys,

I'm very new to GoldMine, I just inherited a project that involves displaying the info from Goldmine on web and winforms pages.

I have no clue how to go about this. I have installed the GoldMine application 6.0. I can reference the GMCOMAPILIB in my C# project. I need to connect to the Contact1.dbf and list all the details that file, same for contsupp, cal etc.

Please help guys, how do I go about this...code samples in any language will be very helpful

Looks like the document is available to the public on the FrontRange site here:

Don't use the COM API, use the GM6S32.dll. Better yet, if you'r just READING the info, use a simple ADO connection to query the data...

thank you guys...

I'm able to read the data using the Microsoft OleDb driver, but it seems quite slow...

Guess that depends on your query and your hardware. What dada are you looking to get? Post your queries/code and maybe we could supply some pointers...
