BO script help

Hello;

I have a scripting question to ask. Before we upgraded to BO5, I can use function SQLREQUEST to run a query against ODBC to Oracle and return the result. But now in VBA of BO5, this function sqlrequest doesn’t exist. Can someone tell me how can I get it work or there is some other way to do it? Thank you!

In BO5 you have to use VBA supported data access methods. Look at ADO documentation.

Open a case and request the document by title. That’s how I got it.
