download the file to the temp folder, and everything works well

no way... this kind of database doesn't support your wishes!
better try ms sql or mysql

I just went through this same problem with an app I am developing. The drivers for Access do not allow remote connections. I had to export my Access database and import it into MySQL and the ODBC driver for MySQL allows you to specify a URL for the server and the database name on the server.

I'm going to live forever or die trying!

Array definition global vs local?

spaced_out22-Jul-03 6:27

I can define an array in my local variables (to a certain function), but I am having trouble defining that array as a global array that I could use in all of my subfunctions.

Here is how I define the variable in my local area (this works)

<br />
//***********THIS WORKS AND IS WAHT I HAVE****************  it is in my .cpp source file<br />
void CMyDialog::OnMyFuntion() //my local function(subroutine? I don't know the right word?)<br />
{<br />
<br />
    double f1, m_div;  //defining a itermediate variable - I will remove this later when array is fully funtional<br />
    double ValuesArray[200]; // local definition of Array<br />
	<br />
	ifstream inf;                  <br />
	inf.open("Testdata1tab.txt");   //reading data in from text file<br />
<br />
	for (int i=0; i < 199; i++)    // loop 200 times for 200 lines of data<br />
	{<br />
		inf >> f1;             // read value into my temp variable f1<br />
		ValuesArray[i] = f1;   // transfer to array value at location [i]<br />
<br />
		Value = ValuesArray[i]/m_div;  //calculate another value<br />
	}<br />
<br />
    inf.close();<br />
	}<br />
}<br />

When I try to define the array in my .h file as a public variable, I get a runtime error. Here is how I try to define the array:

<br />
//************THIS DOES NOT WORK *************** PLEASE HELP<br />
class CMyDialog : public CDialog<br />
{<br />
// Construction<br />
public:<br />
	CMyDialog(CWnd* pParent = NULL);   // standard constructor<br />
// Dialog Data<br />
	//{{AFX_DATA(CMyDialog)<br />
	enum { IDD = IDD_MY_DIALOG };<br />
	double ValuesArray[200];<br />
		// NOTE: the ClassWizard will add data members here<br />
	//}}AFX_DATA<br />

I leave the .cpp file at the top the same, except that I remove the double ValuesArray[200]; line.
I am probaly doing several things wrong. Any help will be more than welcome.

I wish I could type better ...

That sounds like visual basic to me... You mean exception? Which one Access Violation or Division by zero??

Sorry about that, is says I have an illegal operation. (too many different languages to keep up with.)

I am putting the read in values into a List Control. The scroll bar appears when I execute, but then it just stops before I see the data?

Here is the error message:

Are you 100% sure that you are not stepping past the end of the array? Using an invalid index < 0 or > 199..

Good call. I don't know how I was doing it, but that change let me run the code. Unfortunately, after exit the dialog I get a new error message. I guess it works up to that point and that is something.

THanks. Helpful comments.

What error message do you get?

My first thoughts would be to move the declaration to outside of the ClassWizard generated code

class CMyDialog : public CDialog
{
// Construction
public:
    CMyDialog(CWnd* pParent = NULL); // standard constructor
    // Dialog Data
    //{{AFX_DATA(CMyDialog)
    enum { IDD = IDD_MY_DIALOG };
       // NOTE: the ClassWizard will add data members here
    //}}AFX_DATA
    double ValuesArray[200];
};

I moved it outside, but I still get an error (once the code is done running). It works up until that point. Thanks to me changing the size of the array. I swear I had it set up correct, but I guess not.

This is the error message I get when I do it inside the ClassWizard zone

This is what I get if I am outside the Class Wizard stuff:

Keeping in ming that if I define the array inside of the subroutine-locally (or function? I don't know the right word.) I get no error at all???

FYI, this only loops 199 (0-198) times. That's not the issue at hand, though.

When you are read from the ValuesArray[] array, adding the values to the list control, what line of code causes the error? Is it an access violation, or a fired assertion?

spaced_out22-Jul-03 17:50

22-Jul-03 17:50

Thanks for the 0-198 clarification.

The error is posted in my reply above. I have NO IDEA what it means?

22-Jul-03 9:14

hehe, i'm sure it is a stack overflow... because of page fault...
you define the CDialog class local in the InitInstance function of the program, right??
then it makes no difference, if you place the whole class in stack or just the 200 doubles.

define the CDialog class GLOBAL, then it should work!

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

John M. Drescher22-Jul-03 10:30

200 doubles is not a lot of memory.

John

spaced_out22-Jul-03 18:06

22-Jul-03 18:06

Do you have another way for me to define these numbers that would take up less space?

Instead of double?

If so let me know.

I wish I could type better ...

John M. Drescher22-Jul-03 18:39

22-Jul-03 18:39

My point is that 200 doubles only takes 800 bytes of memory. Your stack is over a megabyte. So the memory allocation is insignifigant... I have programs that allocate over a gigabyte of data with no probelem. They do not put it on the stack though....

John

Alexander ^M.,23-Jul-03 1:30

23-Jul-03 1:30

next time better take a calculator!
200*sizeof(double)=200*8=1600bytes!

Don't try it, just do it! Wink | ;-)

John M. Drescher23-Jul-03 3:44

23-Jul-03 3:44

You are correct a double is 8 bytes... Anyways 1600 bytes on the stack is still not signifigant..

Alexander M,
I didn't understand what the Hell you were talking about (well maybe just a little), but it got me thinking and tried some new stuff. I just defined the array in the .cpp soure code outside of all subroutines(functions? I still don't know what to call it.) And POW, BINGO, YEEHA, WHOOPIE GOLDBERG, HOORAY! It works. Global array, and no errors!

I don't know if that is what you were trying to tell me, but we will just say it was. SO, I gave you a 5 out of 5 for helpfulness, but I would have given you a 10 if they let me.

You da bomb.

Thanks! Big Grin | :-D
