                        About: CIFD Inserter 1.0

Here's the problem:

Integra VDB for Visual Basic is a great tool for creating database Apps in
Visual Basic.  The only problem is, the only way to get a CIFD control onto
a form is to let Integra build the form for you.  When I started useing 
TAB/PRO VBX I couldn't let Integra generate my forms because I wanted 
my controls to be on different tabs / pages.  Faced with the option of 
typing all the binding information by hand, and doing without a CIFD, or
letting Integra generate my form and then deleteing all the controls, only 
to create them again, I decided to write a utility to insert a CIFD into 
any form.


How to use CIFD Inserter:

There a few simple steps that have to be performed in order to use
CIFD Inserter:
        1) Create a form (duh!)
        2) Place a standard label control on the form.
        3) Make a note of the name of the label.
        4) Save your form as ASCII. (This is VERY critical!)
        5) Run CIFD inserter.
        6) Tell ICIFD the filename of your form.
        7) Tell ICIFD the name of your label. (Case sensitive)
        8) Tell ICIFD the name you want to call your CIFD control.
        9) Press the OK button.
       10) Reload your form in VB. The label has been replaced with
           a CIFD control.

Some notes:
       1) A backup is made of the original form.
       2) If ICIFD fails to find the label you specified it will restore
          your original form.



Registration:
        NONE!  I needed it so I wrote it... It only took a littl while to
        write it so I'm not going to charge for it.

        But if you are feeling generous, (Yeah suuuuure!) send some dough
        anyway.
