Hello everybody. I've run into a weird problem while trying to set up a standard equipment database. I'm running v6.62 on WinXP, and cannot for the life of me get a command line script to add records to a database.

The only thing I can find wrong is when I go into the database window, go to options->set fields and I get a friendly little error box.

Class DBSetD not found.

Goggle gives me nothing when I search for this, and I can't find any other resources for it. Any help would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

I will see if I can find a way to reproduce this problem. The database module has a few odd bugs that have never been fixed, and if I can find a way to produce what you speak of then Zugg can fix it for the next public version.

In the meantime any information you can supply about the exact steps taken, or your specific database configuration would help me. The only suggestion I can give to help you is create another database.

I've attempted to create three databases now, and none of them will add records from the command line.

The database currently is a new database with a single field:
Field Name: Name
Type: Text
Hint: Name of item.

I then have a variable, name dbitem, type Data Record. Contents are.
Name|totem bone long snake skin

I have tried a number of different formats to add this through the command line.
#NEW All @dbitem
#new All @dbitem
#NEW ALL @dbitem
#NEW @dbitem
#new dbitem
#new WAND @dbitem

And other variations on case. None of them will add a record, though I can manually add one. I've suspected there is a problem with my db definitions, but I made the initial variable as simplistic as I could and still nothing. I have also attempted to add records by making the dbitem variable value only have a single word, still to no effect.

While I investigated, I started going through the menus. To get the error message, in a standard popup box, I clicked on the DB icon, then on actions, and then set fields. I have no idea what set fields is supposed to do, but for me and one other user I've talked with, it produces that error. Sadly, her equipment database works but she just copied triggers from somewhere else and thus can't assist me at all.

Let me know if I can provide any further information, I'm very thoroughly boggled by this.

With the newest Zmud release, I no longer get the Class not found message when I follow those menu steps. But I still cannot add a record to a database through the command line.

Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

First do you have the database window open when trying to use #NEW? It does need to be open.

Second your record variable should display as Data Record in the Settings Editor automatically. If viewed as text it would have the format 'field1=value1|field2=value2...'.

Third you should use braces around arguements to commands. For example:
#NEW All {@dbitem}
