PRB: Intellidrop Causes Multiple Logins with Remote View

Article ID: 157524

Article Last Modified on 10/15/2003

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q157524

SYMPTOMS

Each time you drag and drop a field from a Remote View to a Form or Report, the server Login dialog box is invoked.

CAUSE

The server login information for the remote view is not cached; it is dynamically retrieved as needed.

WORKAROUND

If the Remote View is based on datasource, issue the USE command to open the Remote View first. Then when you drag and drop fields, Intellidrop can get the information from the opened view.

-or-

Create the Remote View based on a Connection instead of a datasource. Then when you drag and drop fields, Intellidrop can get the login information from the connection and does not prompt for the server login again.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a database.
  2. Create a Remote View in the database.
  3. Create a form.
  4. Add the previously created Remote View to the DataEnvironment of the new form.
  5. Drag a field from the Remote View in the DataEnvironment to the form.
  6. Drag another field to the form.
When the first field is dragged to the form, the server login dialog box appears. When the second field is dragged on to the form, the server login dialog box comes up again.
