Hi All,
I am working with Bentely Water (Bentley Map with a bit extra) and I need to create a menu option (or button) to both launch the Interoperability dialog for import SHP and TAB files, but I also need to have a button that will open an Oracle Spatial connection (where all our GISDATA lives).
Is this able to be done as a Key-In or do I need to right a VBA script for this??
Cheers Ian
Hi Ian,
I don't use Bentley Water, so my advice is based on what I know about Bentley Map, but I suppose the functionality is the same.
I am not sure what exactly you want to do, if you want to open a dialog to define the new import/connection or to start the existing once or to open impx definition file saved in another session. Import/export functions start with "gdi <somthing>", so I recommend to search Bentley Map help for gdi keyword, there are 2 pages (File Based Operation and Oracle Spatial) in the help including examples.

Thanks Jan for the pointer. Bentley Water uses Bentley Map as the engine and just adds some extra functionality.
The Key-In I was looking for is "gdi open name=STORAGE_NAME user=Oracle User Name password=password server=Oracle service name " This will allow me to simplify the Oracle login for my users.
