Ok, I'm trying to use a simple bizobj that I made. I now get "Failed
to create newval for field 'field name'" Is there there any
documentation that I missed that shows the basic use of a bizobj?
Here is my new code:
class testbiz(biz.dBizobj):
def initProperties(self):
self.Caption = "mytesttable"
self.DataSource = "mytesttable"
self.KeyField = "theid"
self.RequeryOnLoad = False
self.Encoding = "latin-1"
mybiz = testbiz(conn)
mybiz.new()
mybiz.first_name = 'Brandon'
mybiz.last_name = 'Singer'
mybiz.amount_owes = 1234.01
mybiz.save()
ps. what is the best way to get all the data? should I use the bizobj?
