Hey people me again,
Has anyone else out there used the database linking function? I am using it
to insert company specific information about parts into the part fields. it
works well, however it is incredibly slow to update the information often
taking 5 to 10 minutes with less than 30 parts on the scematic! The
database is in DBaseIV format and less than 400 items with 6 fields each. i
only reference to one field per component.
Can you set the update to insert information as i place components? or is
there a better way? I had toyed with the idea of writing somewthing in
Access to do the same job but thats another stage of things to do when
printing BOMs etc. and more than a little bit of a a pain
As usual, all help appreciated.;-)
