Datasource cConnect property since v1.1

[aross]

I am still having problems with connection strings even with 1.1a.
\000.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add
is transformed to
00.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add
and the connection fails on project reopens. I have to manually add back the
two slashes.

Andrew,
I have just tested using TAdoDataSource:cConnect property seting its value
to:
\000.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add
I trapped the OnCreate event with this code:
METHOD DataSourceCreate( oSender ) CLASS TForm1
logdebug( oSender:cConnect )
RETURN Nil
An the value obtained is:
00.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add
Which I think is correct.
Could you send us a small sample showing the error.
Regards,

Ignacio,

I cannot send you a sample because it's purely in the IDE cConnect property
where I am having problems. Type in the four back slashes, save the project,
exit and reopen. It modifies it to two back slashes and the connection is
lost.
Prior to 1.1 using a ADS data source (Internet only), I used
00.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add in the Datasource
cConnect property *in the IDE* and it worked fine. When I installed 1.1, it
modified my connection property like this
00.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add, which will not
connect. I have to change it to
\000.000.00.000:9000sharedmyfolderdatamydict.add to successfully.
connect. My problem is that won't save.

Andrew,
We have cancel the use of extended strings for cConnect property on DBF
DataSources. Now is only present on ADODataSource. That should avoid your
problem.
BTW, I believe it was not a bug, its the correct behaviour of Xharbour
extended strings, that's all.
Extended Literal Strings:
-------------------------
xHarbour introduces a new kind of literal strings known as "Extended Literal
Strings".
Syntax:
-------
E"..."
The literal string may contain Escape Codes following the C language
conventions, like:
n -> New Line character.
t -> Tab character.
r -> CR character.
" -> literal <"> character.
' -> literal <'> character.
-> literal <> character.

Context help only works the first time you use it, then it comes up with
"Action cancelled", and all the manual then says "Page can not be displayed"
You have to close help after each use.

Capsol,
It seems you are using a bad version of CHM Help viewer. Try to upgrade to
the latest version. Here it is working nicely. Some other people had also
problems with old versions of CHM help viewer.
