Actually if you head on over to Flashlite.net you can snag a data source
cheat sheet that will explain what table is expecting..

The basic idea is that the data has to be formatted in a particular manner,
hence just throwing data from a select out won't really work (unless you've
set up your database to correspond to this format)

You at least need a clip column which gives the name of MC you want put into
a cell.
Keep in mind that Generator fills cells left to right, top to bottom, so if
you need an empty cell you need to spit out a line of just commas.

Subject: FLASH: Slight-OT: Linking ODBC Datasources in Generator.


Hi

We are trying to accomplish the following in Generator:

Setup an ODBC Connection within Generator and display the information in a
table.

The DataSource is setup within the Table as:

fgjdbc:///?driver=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver&url=jdbc:odbc:pwaudio&userid=
&password=&query=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20Hero;

There is no username/password associated with the database, which is in
Access.

However, there is no output from the database when the Generator
Template/HTML Document is published.

How should we be setting the DataSource up for any of the objects - the help
system supplied with the program leaves a little to be desired.

Over to the specialists, aka Branden Hall and Chrissy Rey.

As this is rather specialist to prevent the topic being too OT, you may wish
to respond personally.

Thanks

Steve Minton
