Automatically import fob file

ombacke

Is the a way to import an fob file automatically without have to go to File --> Import???

And how do you progamatically delete Objects from the object designer??

I'm not sure about the automatic import, although I know that there are tools that synchronize database objects as part of replication betwee two database, so to me that means it can be done...

As for deleting, the Object virtual record would be the place to start (variable f.ex. named obj, type Rec, subtype Object)...

For importing a fob exported with the export-function, you will need some keyboard logging tool (or if someone knows a better way...).
I know (because I programmed it with 2.60) that it is possible to export objects with a Navision-program. Export the BLOB of table Object. For importing : get the record or create a record in table Object with all the correct fields in it and then import the BLOB and INSERT or MODIFY it.
I've done this once and it works. But it is necessary to exit ALSO the client who imported the fobs otherwise it will use the old version.

Does anybody know the algorithm to check if the BLOB (that we will import into the Object table) is correct and not corrupt (to check if the Checksum is correct) :?:
