• Import Overwrite Options Issue

    I am working with a template provided by another person. I create a new project using that template. All looks empty and pretty standard. I do an import of my source data using the "Named Fields" option, and get the following log with the indicated Warnings…
  • Excel automation error: Element not found

    After the latest corporate-initiated updates to my computer, gINT can no longer import/export Excel files. I have tried reinstalling Office 365, gINT, and STAAD (needed by gINT for some reason) to no avail. Program versions are: gINT CONNECT Professional…
  • Excel import takes much longer than previous versions

    It appears that at some point in time the excel import engine has been modified. I often import data into gINT from Excel Spreadsheats using a correspondence file. The excel spreadsheets contain multiple sheets and a lot of extraneous information. The…
  • AGS 4 export from AGS 3 data structure

    Hi all. I may be missing something here, and I can certainly do it myself, but.... I have the latest set of AGS 4 files downloaded from Bentley (gint std ags4 - 20121116.zip) We have had a client request AGS 4 data from a project (first time we've been…
  • Re: Turn Bitmap preview off?

    Miles, so far as I know, there is no setting that turns off the raster image preview. But, as I replied to your other post about the drive mapping for bitmap files, you could do this data entry in an Excel spreadsheet, then import that data into gINT…
  • Re: Lab summary on fence diagram

    Glad I could be of help. On taking a second look at this with a fresh pair of eyes the following procedure could ALSO be used. It essentially does the same thing using a different intermediate file format but eliminates the extra step of creating a…
  • Is gINT actually out of memory?

    When trying to import an excel file into a blank gINT database, I get the following error message (also attached): 7 Out of Memory===gInt8a If I click ok, I get the following error message: File not found gINT This happens on…
  • Re: Import UNC data over-writing previously imported data

    Judy, are you using the File>Import/Export menu option, or another process to import? If you are importing using the File menu option, you probably just need to choose a different overwrite option in the dialog. The options are: Never - Only…
  • Re: Problems with importing from excel

    I think the key may be in either "made some minor amendments", the choice of overwrite option, or the use of a correspondence file. Also, gINT cannot always import an Excel file that is open on your desktop. Make sure you have closed the file before you…
  • Be Inspired Prize for Innovation WON with gINT

    The Mississippi Department of Transportation Geotechnical Department has won the 2012 Be Inspired prize for Innovation in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering with their implementation of gINT at Mississippi DOT – (Jackson, Mississippi, U.S.A…
  • Re: Data import to gINT from Excel file.

    Dennis, the problem is the 'a.m.' text at the end of the date/time value. If the date value entered in gINT has 'a.m.' in the field, it is not a DateTime field, and the query expression cannot use the # delimiters. On the other hand, if this is the…
  • Re: Paths to bitmaps...

    Miles, there is a really simple way to do what Kathleen describes for your photo file (bitmap file) fields: ...change a path from H:\Geotechnical\g254\... to \\qserver\shared\Geotechnical\g254\...?... The user can enter \\qserver\shared\Geotechnical…
  • Re: Excel Data Import into gINT

    That is true if you are a lot more familiar with using Excel than with using gINT - but remember, you can also copy-and-paste columns of information from Excel directly into gINT. As Phil pointed out in part, though, to import directly from Excel into…
  • Re: Will gINT organize my pdfs?

    What I suggest is a table with a PointID,Depth key set, whose parent is either POINT or LAB SPECIMEN. You will need at least one other field in addition to the specimen Depth key, and it should be a field of Any file type. Data entry is then simple…
