Form2lib

Hi! We need help with it.
We're working with Designer & Headstart 2.1.2. and Oracle 8.0.5
I`m customizing the headstart Object Library now. The headstar's
manual, in pages 7-5, explain how to do it using form2lib and
the
Object library.
When I generate the qmsolb50.olb using the OLM provided by
Headstart, I get the following errors:
I run:
form2lib -i qmsolm50.fmb -o qmsolb50.olb
and I get

Form2lib - revisited

In an earlier thread the following statement was made :
The FORM2LIB registry should contain two entries:
TAB1 with ID1 = 'CGSO$' and Name = 'OFG Objects'
TAB2 with ID2 = 'QMSSO$' and name = 'QMS Objects'
The headstart documentation (template package user guide, page 7-
6) states the following (also contained in the qmsolb50.reg
file):
The form2lib registry is set up as follows:
TAB1: ID1 = 'QMSSO$', NAME = 'QMS OBJECTS'
TAB2: ID1 = 'CGSO$', NAME = 'CGSO OBJECTS'
What are the correct entries for the registry? Does the ordering
make any difference? Does the numbering on the ID? entry have
any impact?
Regards,
Ronald Maas.

Ronald,
These entries define tabs in property window of every .olb when
you open it in Form builder. Basically, You can have as many
tabs as You like (provided that there is no Developer limit for
them :-)) and every object in .olb will appear in the separate
tab as long as its name begins with literals noted in
corresponding registry setting.
Try to open qmsolb.olb in Form builder and then double click on
it and You'll see for yourself.

Web enabling for V6 not working

I'm trying to follow the instructions for web enabling a system, produced using Headstart & Designer V6. When I try to convert the object library, entering 'form2lib.exe -i webmol50.fmb -o qmsolb50.olb APPEND', I'm getting the following error:
'form2lib.exe - Unable to locate DLL. The dynamic link library f50d2f32.dll could not be found in the specified path'.
Presumably this is because webmol50.fmb was produced using Developer V5; I loaded the form using Forms Builder V6, but no conversion took place. What do I need to do to get around this problem?

There is a new version of the Form 2 Lib utility for use with Forms 6.0.
fm2lib60.exe
The rest of the command is the same.

HST212 - Customizing the Object Library

I want to append a new Object Library form to qmsolb50.olb, so I decided to make sure that I could recreate the original. Using 'form2lib.exe' on the original qmsolm50.fmb does not recreate the qmsolb50.olb. I got a list of warnings saying that a tab couldn't be found for a certain item. The resulting qmsolb50.olb was much smaller that the original. I created a third tab in the registry for 'GROUPED QMS OBJECTS' with an ID of 'QMS$' and ran the job again. I got fewer warnings this time, but there were still some for items without a common prefix (mainly regarding the calendar I think). This time, the qmsolb50.olb was only slightly smaller than the original.
Could you please confirm the registry settings so that I can recreate the qmsolb50.olb?
Thank you.

The number of warnings are no problem. The form2lib utility only states that it could not find a tab for the named objects. That does not mean that the objects aren't in the object library. Only that you will not be able to see them directly in Forms Builder.
In the registry you only have to have the two registry-settings for the two tabs TAB1 and TAB2:
- NAME="Headstart Objects"; ID1="QMSSO$"
- NAME="OFG Objects"; ID1="CGSO$"
The only time you have to add entries for additional tabs is when you want to use your own objects, e.g.:
- NAME="My Objects"; ID1="MYSO$"
I can not explain the difference in file size, but you should be able to normally use the newly created object library.
