This is not that difficult with OLE though the full documentation is only provided when you buy a Maximizer enterprise toolkit.

Without going through the full explainantion you could probably use DDE just as easily. Look in the Edit/copy link menu to see the correct name of the fields to request.

in VB add start a new EXE project add a form and button paste the following into the button click event

Form1.Text1.LinkTopic = "MAXWIN|CurrentRecord"
Form1.Text1.LinkItem = "First_Name"
Form1.Text1.LinkMode = vbLinkManual
Form1.Text1.LinkRequest

The last line may raise error 285 if Maximizer can't supply the data.

If you really want to get into this sort of thing the best thing is to get an integrators toolkit which (we or) your regular reseller can supply.

Ah.. Sorry.

So far as I know there's no way to read these at present. Logically if you tried to obtain "My_First_Name" it might have worked. I'd meant to try this but had not yet had a chance.

The provision of these fields was new in Enterprise 2000 and our Max Doc product preceeded Maximizer in offering this functionallity. We simply store the user information in the registry. However, we are looking at a few changes for the next version. Being able to access these names in Maximizer would be handy but I suspect unless the toolkit is extended a bit of direct btrieve may be required!

If its not in the Integrators toolkit documentation there's only two more places you can go..

Multiactive the manufacture may be able to help you with some more detail or..

contact a Multiactive Business Partner like CABC wink As you may have gathered if you've visited in our main site at http://www.cabc.co.uk we've specialised in integration for a number of years and have experience of application development using almost all elements of the toolkit.
