Query Help BusObj 3.1 -> 4.1.x

In a message dated 99-04-15 14:03:23 EDT, you write:

In the course of converting BusObj 3.1 queries to 4.1.x (by just opening
the BusObj 3.1 .req), does anyone know where the query help goes?

Wow, a blast from the past… a 3.1 question! :slight_smile:

Seriously, Amy, I don’t know if I have ever looked for this. I’m not sure
that BusObj converts that information. But if they do, I expect that the only
logical place to put it would be in the Properties screen in 4.1. To find it,
open your file, select FILE and then PROPERTIES. There is a spot for
comments, and that would be the only place I can think of where the help
could be converted to.

I don’t even have 3.1 installed anywhere to test this any more; sorry. Let us
(the list) know if that’s true!

Indeed, one would think that would the logical place, and it’s certainly
where we’re telling folks to put 4.1.x query documentation. But, I haven’t
seen any evidence of 3.1.x query help being populated there. Any other
idea, folks?

Thanks,
Amy
