Charles,
Once the DLL is installed and a proper entry is made in
RBASE.INI file, you SHOULD be able to simply change the
"Column/Variable Object Properties" in Forms, Reports
and Labels to use the features of that particular DLL.
Steps:
In a Form/Report/Label Designer:
01. Right click on Column/Variable
02. Select Properties
03. You SHOULD be able to see a [ ] Custom check box
04. Click on [ ] Custom Check Box
05. Now, you will be provided with a drop-down combo
box with appropriate list of all installed DLLs.
06. Select appropriate DLL to use
07. Click on [OK] button to Save Object Properties!
08. Save the Form, Report or Label accordingly.
There you have it ...
Hope that helps!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
