BusinessObjects Board

Field identification

We are using BO 5.1.8

An issue has arose regarding the use of a particular field in a number of reports. Is is possible to interrogate BO to find out how many current reports use this field in their data providers?

Regards,

In the download section of this forum you will find a topic called:

“List objects used in a series of reports”

This can be used to do th trick

Hi,

Having followed the instructions I get the following

Run-time error ‘13’

Type mismatch.

The DEBUG button highlights the following line of code:

Set dpCube = DefineCube(dpInterface.DpVBACubes(1)) :?:

The link provided for this report has an author of Dwayne Hoffpauir, EDS.

Could someone please advise as to how I get resolution to this issue.

Do I have to contact the author directly?

If so, how is this done? :?:

I’m here :slight_smile:

The utility has been downloaded nearly 2,000 times, so I’m fairly sure it’s not a general problem. What version of Business Objects are you using? Are you using the same version of the utility (XI versus v5/v6)? Are you able to run other VBA code successfully? In the VB Editor, if you go to Tools, References, is there a Business Objects library selected? If not, that’s the problem.

Hi Dwayne,

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that it must have been a dodgy first download of V5, V6 (we use 5.1.8) so I decided to download it again. This time everything was fine.

The utilty is excellent. Thanks very much.

Regards,
BoB
