    Where can i down load the full version of econnect for GP10. i.e version which will create the objects in database.

    Hi Tell. The database objects for eConnect are now (with GP 10.0) automatically installed by the standard server install for GP.

    If you need to re-install just the eConnect objects, a Database Maintenance tool was created for this purpose. This tool is installed with GP client for 10.0 SP2 or later.

    I am trying to import my customization package onto a new laptop and I am receiving an error saying "Class not registered.  Looking for object with CLSID:{AC9F2F90-E887-11CE-9F68-00AA00574A4F}"  I’ve searched knowledge base and cant find anything.  

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Tracy

    I would say that your code references some external object or resource that is not installed on the target machine.  Check your code for external references.

    As this is a blog "comments" section and not a support site, if you have further questions then log a support incident or post your question to the public newsgroups or forum.

    Is there a way to loop through a grid using vba?

    Hi Natalie

    For your other comment (which I have deleted) on why VBA does not work, I would look at the following KB article, or log a support case.  Blog comments is not a good method of providing support.

    mbs.microsoft.com/…/KBDisplay.aspx

    As for looping through a grid.  Your best choice (if possible) is to open a detail window (for example Sales Item Detail Entry from the Sales Transaction Entry window) and use the browse buttons to go to the start and then move through the data. If no expansion window is available, then use VBA SendKeys command to either use down arrow to move through or focus to the last editable field and send a tab.

    I will write a blog post on this later

    In the desktop application it is possible using Modifier and VBA to implement a customization on a form.  Do such modifications propagate to the Web Client,  Is it possible to implement similar modifications to forms in the Web Client.

    Hi Clive

    You can use Modifier to change the form and that will work on the web client (as it is Dexterity based).

    However, VBA code will not work as Visual Basic for Applications is not supported on the web client.

    Instead, you can use Visual Studio Tools and V# or VB.Net to add your scripting. This will work on the web client.
