Good job.

when I Double-click on the file to open it, I got a window is:
‘Specify the following to connection to sql server data’ not the one you have:
‘Specify the following to connection to ODBC data’

what can I do now?

thank

I have one question though which is - I have a client that has a limited prefix code for his numbering system. Would it be possible to create multiple part templates and link them to a query to get the next number sequence for that particular prefix? eg DBA.slddot gives me a DBA-10022 GRA.slddot gives me a GRA-10014 etc Thanks Derek Hi Jeff,

Your work saved the day! I'm not a programmer, but was able to get your macro working just as you described. Your Flash video was very helpful in setting up the data source. This will allow me to focus on design not on how or what I should name my files. It also insures that every file is uniquely named, something any Solidworks user should never work without! Keep up the great work! Jeff,

SQLServer Express is extremely easy to use, is very powerful and is free. There are a bunch of video tutorials on the asp.net homepage to help you get started. http://www.asp.net/learn/sql-videos/ You should also consider switching your macro to visual basic.net express (also free). Good luck. Thanks for the kind words James. SQLServer Express is extremely easy to use, is very powerful and is free.
