Code / Description

When I saw Scott Wichall's posting about WMI capabilities, I was really impressed.

http://www.openntf.org/projects/codebin/codebin.nsf/CodeByDate/93B6B3A143845CFE86256EC90044C8E5?OpenDocument

But, it left me wondering what else was available to us, and how can we maximize it?

I put this agent together pretty quickly and planned on cleaning it up before posting, but, have not done a thing since then. :-(

I decided to let my perfectionism go and set the code free without the polish, don't tell anyone ya got it from me.

Usage / Example

Import this into an agent in a brand new database, It creates forms on the fly as it needs them to represent the data, as it defines itself.

You will have to build your own views.

Im sure there are much more data types available, I just collected all I could find of MS's site.

The current implementation still leave a lot of garbage behind (c:\) it requires 6.5.1 or above, but, if you want to run on 6.5.0 you should be able to change the doctype in CreateForm, I didn't want to realease it that way because I had not tested it that way.

Good luck

Posted by Dwight Wilbanks on 07/29/2004 04:56:49 PMRE:Any ideas?

What was the text of the error message that you got?
Was it durring the line:
Call importer.Import(ThisStream, g_CurrDB)
Is the XML properly formed?
What codepage is your windows configured for? Are there any non-roman chars that might be need to be escaped?
What version of notes are you using? Are you manager in the DB that you are using?
