Re: SQR editor

[Roger Harris <rharris@CSU.ORG>]

There is a simpler way to do this.  In the Parameters field instead of
entering the {path}\file_name.sqr you can enter the tool macro "$File" this
will run the file in the active window of TextPad.  And in the Initial
Directory field use the tool macro "$FileDir".  As for compiling, if you
mean generate an SQT just use the -rs flag in the Parameters field.

In TextPad, under Tools, Run...

Command: sqrw.exe (include full path)
Parameters: path to file you are editing and database logon and sqr flags
Initial Folder: path to sqrw folder

Example:

Command: C:\SQRIBE\SQRServer\ODB\BINW\sqrw.exe
Parameters: C:\SQRIBE\VisualSQRIBE\PROGRAM\file_name.sqr
database/userID/Password -ziv -whatever_else
Initial Folder: C:\SQRIBE\SQRServer\ODB\BINW

Thanks to the motivation provided by the SQR Users Group, I have forced
myself to find the time to use something other than VisualSqribe as a text
editor for Brio.  I like TextPad (and the company bought it for us), but
this is the first time I have used some of its power.
Now, can some one smart please tell me how to compile from TextPad?
Thanks
