I don't see why on earth you want to use fixed length data with Excel.
Do you need to normalize the data or are you intending to use multi-line

Can anyone share any experience they've had calling a RedBack RBO from .NET?
I've tried the following methods:
1. OleDbConnection to the RedPages OLE DB Provider: results in an error when
trying to call the RBO's .Create() method.
2. ADODB Connection (via COM Interop) to the RedPages OLE DB
There are a variety of ways that this can be achieved.
1. the records are stored in the relational database as a raw string
including value marks etc. This is meaningless data to DB2 users.
2. The data is converted into two dimensional databases, requiring data
typing, length definitions, etc.
We are migrating from a unix box, to Windows 2000 server, and have a 3rd
party spooler application called JRT. There is no JRT spooler app for
windows. It is a slick little app that uses SP commands to manipulate jobs
in the spool queue.
I know printing on windows is handled by print manager, but
2. The data is converted into two dimensional databases, requiring data

The way that jBase handles the problem is by requiring the database be

course the standard with 1NF databases. Unfortunately for most of us, it
means a complete redesign of the existing mv database structure. Over the

Yes, an RDBMS is still a costly investment for any company and that won't
change by front-ending it with what is otherwise bigger-bang-for-the-buck

Hi Steve
Just to correct you, jbase does not require you to move to 1NF files to
run on an RDBMS. Jbase will port multi dimensional data across to an
RDBMS and automatically handle the conversion to multiple tables
invisible to the application. The issue is in the quality of the
dictionary,
It is complex topic and more than a bit off-topic for this forum...also a
very very dry subject. *Yawn* ;-)
I'm not wanting to discuss the actual metric. We're having the regular
debate about should we keep going with UV and if not what should we
consider. One of the strengths of MV platforms
