I would guess that the EfilmObj is an ActiveX viewer.
You could convert your VB code to VBScript with no difficulty, since late binding is the method of Object creation and simply call the VBS file from RBase using the "Launch" command. To take it a step further, you can store the VBS file in a VarChar data field in the database and retrieve it, write it to disk and run it, deleting it after the run, to keep the file from anyone fooling with the source code.

If you aren't familiar with scripting, the main difference in VBScript is all variables are Variants, so when you do variable declaration, you omit the "as DataType" assignment.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - OLE 2 in rbase ?


Hello again,

in the database that I am converting from Access to R:BAse 9.0 we have a procedure that links our database with Efilm X-ray filmviewer.

This is the procedure :

Public Sub Efilm()
Dim EfilmObj As Object
Dim var As Boolean
Dim varefilm As Boolean
Dim vpatID As String, vcon As String, bCloseCurWindow As Boolean, bAddToWindow As Boolean, nSeriesRows As Integer, nSeriesCols As Integer, nImageRows As Integer, nImageCols As Integer, bAutoSeriesFormat As Boolean, bAutoImageFormat As Boolean
Set EfilmObj = CreateObject("Efilm.Document")

   vpatID = Forms![InterfaceNieuw]![Patiƫnten].Form![Punieknummer]
    vcon = Forms![InterfaceNieuw]![Consultatie].Form![Consultnummer]
   bCloseCurWindow = True
   bAutoSeriesFormat = False
   bAutoImageFormat = False
   nSeriesRows = 1
   nSeriesCols = 2
   nImageRows = 1
   nImageCols = 1
varefilm = EfilmObj.oleOpenStudy(vpatID, vcon, bCloseCurWindow, bAddToWindow, nSeriesRows, nSeriesCols, nImageRows, nImageCols, bAutoSeriesFormat, bAutoImageFormat)

varefilm = EfilmObj.oleSetForegroundWindow

End Sub


How could I get the same functionality in R:base to link to Efilm and automatically open all the required film-documents based on the 'Punieknummer' and the 'Consultnummer' ?

Many, many, many thanks

;-)
