Using RRW.OCX and UDFs

[Mark_Fonseca_(Guest)]

Hello__I have a VB application that uses the R & R SQL V8.1 OCX. I created a report design in R & R designer which uses a UDF. When I use the Designer, the UDF is stored in the Executable folder and the report works great. However when the same report is called from my program it comes up with an error saying the relevant field (which uses the UDF) must be edited. I know this error is resulting from the fact that the UDF path is NOT found by the OCX. ____Can the RRW OCX use a UDF? If so where should it be stored - bearing in mind I am calling the report from my application and NO R&R Exe or Viewer is involved.____Thanks for any help__Mark__mfonseca@3000ad.com.au__

The UDF file needs to be in the same directory as RRWRUN.EXE.______Kathleen__R&R Support

Hello Kathleen__With the OCX, I do not use the RWRun.EXE so this would not exist in the Client PC. I did try this on one Client who had the licensed Report Designer and the RWRun.EXE and it did not work. Please advise. I got a strange feeling the UDFs do not work with the OCX.__Regards__Mark__

The OCX is just the interface to RRWRUN.EXE. You still need RRWRUN.EXE on the client machine when you are using the OCX since it is the engine that runs the reports. The OCX simply talks to this engine.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen__Quite obviously I haven^t quite got a complete list of run time files shipped to the client. I searched the ^Developing Application^ PDF and it didn^t show a complete list to ship when using the OCX.____1. Could I trouble you for that list - ONLY those that are required with the OCX. ____2. Will I install the RRWRun.Exe in my application folder? ____3. Do I also need to update the RSW.INI at Install time with the my application path and if so what changes - is it ^ProgDir32^ that changes?____4. What would be the reason that the UDF could not be found on a PC that had the RRWRun.EXE in the R & R program directory and the RSW.INI ^ProgDir32^ pointing to this folder? My app folder i a completely different path.____Thanks for your help__Cheers__Mark__

Then you need RSWRUN.EXE and RSW.UDF.

Thanks very much Kathleen__Would you be kind enough to answer point 4 in my post. My app is on the client network in folder ^T:ARPEGRW^ and the R & R SQL full version is installed on the target PC in the location C:PROGRAM FILESRRV81 with all the relevant files( Runtime and UDF file) installed in this folder. Is this folder regarded as the ^Program Directory^ is my app folder(T:ARPEGRW) the ^Program Directory^?. I put the UDF in my folder as well as the R & R program folder and RSW.INI exists in the Windows folder and the ProgDir32 points to the R & R program folder and this is to no avail as the Viewer does not recognise the fields with the UDF and wants them edited. I can^t understand where next to look.__Cheers__Mark__

The UDF needs to be in the same directory as the runtime executable.__So RR.UDF is with RRWRUN.EXE and RSW.UDF is with RSWRUN.EXE______Kathleen__R&R Support__
