INI File and Data Dictionary

[Jeffrey Ferreira]

I have a catalog.
If I just use The Data Dictionary - it works fine
If I just use the INI File - it works fine
If i use the Data Dictionary and INI File - it throws error on ini file files-> No Data Dictionary

can this be done?

Yes this can be done.

What OS and what version are you using?

At what point do you get the error, during installation, setup, running the server, accessing data?

Hi Deven

Windows Server 2016
when i use excel to try and file that is when i get the error.
you know in msquery when you can slide fields from left to right.

Hi Jeff

Does the data dictionary define a table that the INI file also defines?

I am unsure if that is supported or not.

I would remove any tables from the INI that are defined in the data dictionary for a test to see if it then works. You can make a copy of the INI file to modify for the test to make sure you don't lose it.

Hi

For what's it's worth

I have successfully used the ODBC driver in the past with old legacy files (non-normalized schemas and BIN/DEC encoded numerics) defined in an INI, and newer tables defined in provide.ddf/dde

So it used to work, as long as each file was declared either in the INI or in the ProvideX DD, but not in both
