Hello Emmanuel,

Sorry but what your trying to do seems to be impossible.

Hi Alex,

perhaps it's impossible, but how do you explain that we can launch the "Database Viewer" with "Connection String Expression" from the TestStand "Database Options" Dialog Box / "Data Link" Tab / "View Data" Button ?

Thanks for you help,

Emmanuel

Emmanuel -
The DatabaseViewer application exposes an ActiveX server with the following interfaces:

Application with method Activate and property Visible.
DataLinkView with methods Show, refresh and NewSQLWindow, and property ConnectionString.

HI Scott,

Thank you for your answer, that's what I need.

I just take time to localize the Active-X Class "zNI TestStand Database Viewer Version 1.1" (why "zNI ..." ?).

Just one remark : what is the interest of "DataLinkView methods NewSQLWindow" if we cant' call unexisting method "Execute SQL Commands " ?

Best regards,

Emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel,

There is also a command line interface to Database Viewer.

Please refer to this help topic in TestStand help for more information:

Environment Reference->Database Viewer Application->Command Line Arguments.

Specifically for your use case, you could use "DatabaseViewer.exe -connectionfile <filepath>"

Hope this helps.
