Windev *.fic
"Malcolm Brown" <norwichhouse.oakridge[ at ]btopenworld.com> 07.12.2005 17:58:23
I have a client who uses the French La Poste service for parcels, this uses
a program written using Windev with *.fic tables.

I have written a sales/stock control program which requires entry of
customer names and addresses. It would be far more efficient if addresses
were only entered once.

Does anyone know of an ODBC or other means of accessing these *.fic tables.

I haven't posted anywhere else but if there is a more likely newsgroup for
this request please let me know.

Malcolm

In WinDEV, the *.FIC tables are called HyperFile so you must use the ODBC
HyperFile driver. See
http://faq.pcsoft.fr/webdev9/faqsearch.awp?search=odbc (in french) for more
info or search Google with « ODBC Hyperfile ».

Thanks for that advice. I haven't hit on the actual driver yet, but that
probably has more to do with my French.

I'm not sure if you will be able to get your hand on a free copy of this
driver without paying for a copy of Windev.

You have confirmed my fear, it's an awfull lot of money to pay for an ODBC
driver. The *.fic files are text files so it looks as thought I will have
to access this table the hard way.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I could not actually see a copy of the ODBC driver
for separate download which by in no way means that it wasn't there. I
have put a question on the forum and live in hope.

The copy is right there, under the title « ODBC on Hyper File (optional) »
and with the link:

ftp://ftp.pcsoft.fr/windev8_315/us/WD80PACKODBC315pu.exe

However, I don't know if this driver will install if you don't have a copy
of the Windev program already running on your machine. You will have to
make the test yourself.

You are quite right, it will only update an already installed copy of
Windev. I think I will have to get my client to get a copy of the ODBC
driver from La Poste as someone suggested.

Thanks for your help.
