Object export

SimonW

Does anyone know of any other way of accessing the object export dialog other than by having the Object Designer loaded?

db

If you need accsses fdb objects, there are simple rec with BLOB's, feel free work with them.
If you need to export/import them, not using standart dialogs, create own format of export file.

I don't seem to be able to create a dataport with 'blob' field types in it.
Would I need to use a C/Front or ODBC connect to extract this data?

This codeunit (in exported text-format) exports form 21 and imports it back again as form 80003.

Don't know is this is a recommendable way to go about things, but it seems to work.

OBJECT Codeunit 81000 im/export objekt
{
OBJECT-PROPERTIES
{
Date=16-02-00;
Time=19:22:43;
Modified=Yes;
Version List=;
}
PROPERTIES
{
OnRun=BEGIN
WITH BlobRec DO BEGIN
GET(BlobRec.Type::Form,'',21);
CALCFIELDS("BLOB Reference");
"BLOB Reference".EXPORT('c:\form21.bin');
INIT;
ID:=80003;
Type:=BlobRec.Type::Form;
Name:='TestForm';
"BLOB Reference".IMPORT('c:\form21.bin');
Date:=TODAY;
END;
BlobRec.Time:=TIME;
BlobRec.INSERT;
END;

}
CODE
{
VAR
BlobRec : Record 2000000001;
ok : Boolean;

BEGIN
END.
}
}
