Automated import binary files

[norbert.bakkers@lr.org]

I use the following code to import binary files in Flexpro:
ImportSettings.ImportCompleteFile = True
ActiveDatabase.RootFolder.Import FName, “Binary files (*.*)|*.*”
The problem is that it will display the ‘Binary Data Set ‘BinaryDataSet’ Properties’ dialog box.
Is it possible to import binary data in a Flexpro dataset without having any visible dialog box?

There are two possibilities to import binary data files with VBA:

1) Create a FPScript formula using the ReadBinaryFile function.
2) Use the BinaryDataLink object in VBA.

    Dim oBinaryDataLink As BinaryDataLink
    Set oBinaryDataLink = 
       ThisDatabase.RootFolder.Add("Demo", fpObjectTypeBinaryDataLink)
    oBinaryDataLink.FilePath = "...ImportfilterDemoFile.tst"
...

See the FlexPro ImportFilter example.

Thanks.
The second option does exactly what I needed.
