Hi to All (but I hope that MS people are reading this too and feel urged to respond),
I have written a vfp-application that's installed using Inno Setup.
It contains a feature to create a pivot table in Excel.
The feature is disabled if Excel is not on the PC (check is done with CheckServer('excel.application').
The pivot table is created prior to calling Excel, using vfp7\ffc\pivtable.vcx. This vcx uses vfp7\ffc\automate.vcx.
Automate.vcx contains the custom class Automate. The class does an ODBC check on init. On client machines this check produces the message..
Could not find FoxPro Files ODBC driver. Check to see if it is installed.The consequence is that the custom class is *not* instantiated and Excel can therefore not be called.
Questions:
Do I really have to use ODBC in order to present a pivot table to Excel???
If YES, what must I distribute, and how can I activate that all automatically?
If NO, is there an alternative for the pivtable.vcx?
Groet,
Peter de Valença
