Hi friends,
I have a new application to develop in HF C/S. Since I have to use three different computers in three different locations for development, I'm using a USB-hard disk to move the project around. But. Each time, the HFCS-connections of the files in the analysis have to be switched to the differently named server. Since a bunch of files in the analysis is password-protected, this is rather time consuming. There are two different connections, I have to input passwords .. time goes by.
Now, I had a real 'bright' idea. I changed the file definition for all the files to being Hyperfile Classic. A test project (establishing the connection and change to HF C/S in project code) assured me that this would work just fine. However, it did not work! In the real project, I establish the connection in an MDI-child window - not in project code - and all of a sudden when calling up another MDI-child the connection was gone, the application was asking for the non-existant 'classic' file in the \exe directory.
So, I strongly suspect that connections established in a window first do not persist for other windows. Is there any documentation for that behaviour or did I do something wrong? Should it work? Why does it work for a connection established in project code?
Solution: I changed the files in the analysis back to HF C/S and decided to connect to our web server through a web connection. This saves me from re-defining the connection in the analysis each and every time I move to another place.
Kind regards,
Guenter
