hi

thanx for this plugin!

[lzvk25]

Unfortunately this version is NOT freeware, it is crippled because there is going to be a shareware version.

Memo to Boss : No TC, No Work

That is the best personal quote ever

Unfortunately this version is NOT freeware, it is crippled because there is going to be a shareware version.

It says this version is freeware !
Only version 7 may become shareware.

It works for me without any restrictions.

Try to use eg. "Export to mdf file"

[lzvk25]

Also try to open any database thru ODBC.

Also try to open any database thru ODBC.

AFAIK, an Excel sheet opens through ODBC, and I have no problems opening it. What db you cannot open?

[lzvk25]

I tried to open an Oracle table and a Teradata table. Both using ODBC drivers which worked perfectly in v.6.1. Now as soon as I tried to open them, I got the message that this was enabled in the "Pro" version.

So we have to stick with the old version

List of functions which are removed from version 6.2:
1. open DSN-file (ODBC),
2. open UDL-file (ADO / OLE DB),
3. create DSN-file,
4. create UDL-file.

I think only experts use these universal functions.

Unfortunately, most TC users are EXPERTS !!!


Trust me, dumb users do not even know or care about the existence of TC. Much less about the existence of a certain plug-in.

Fortunately, not all experts are database specialists.

True !
