Need help in converting from old odc-format

Started by fred_tomke · 2007-11-13 10:08 UTC · 4 replies · SMF topic #87

Hello,

I attach an odc file I like to convert to opendcl.
Does anybody have success in opening the old format in opendcl?
Maybe somebody can debug the opening process?

Regards, Fred

NO I can't open it either.
I'd post a bug & send it to Owen.
OK, I solved it by myself. You must know, this project is over 5 years old and I had to check the forms first in the old ObjectDCL 3 release. There was a form using an additional activex control I haven't installed anymore (and I don't know which it could be). I couldn't delete this control, so I removed the complete form. After saving in the old release I still couldn't open it with with OpenDCL. That's why I opend and saved the project step by step in ObjectDCL 4.0 Alpha (January 2007), OpenDCL 4.0.2.4 and finally in 4.1.1.5. At least I only have to draw a single form anew. And that's quite well.

Thanks for watching.
Regards, Fred
Fred, the form in question had a corrupt count (written as -2 when it should have been 0). I've attached the file with that count fixed and saved in the current format, however I recommend to recreate that ActiveX control because I noticed other values that looked incorrect.

Hello, Owen,

thanks a lot.
I've seen both of the controls but I couldn't delete one (better both). So thanks for the project file.
