This document contains release notes for CodeAssist. Information in this document is more current than that in the on-line Help.

Note: Consult the help file (.HLP) for information on how to use the features of CodeAssist.

System Requirements:

- A hard disk with approximately 15 megabytes of available space for a full installation, including all documentation and sample files.
- Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.

Additional File Requirements:

- The VBSQL templates require vbsql.bas for the declarations and constants. These declarations, in turn, utilize the vbsql.ocx.
- The ODBC API templates require odbcapi.bas for the declarations and constants. These declarations, in turn, utilize the odbc32.dll.

Known issues:

1. In SQL7 %VB_FLD_TYPE_PREFIX% cannot replace field types uniqueidentifier, nchar, ntext, and nvarchar.
2. The database browser is not correctly parsing stored procedures into fields when the SELECT contains calculated fields.
3. When a workspace containing a sql server database is saved to disk, the caw file will contain all the information necessary to establish the connection. This includes the password to the database, as part of the connection string.
4. CodeAssist cannot correctly retrieve the results columns for some SQL Server Stored Procedures as the result columns may vary depending on the values of the input parameters. Consequently, not all stored procedures that contain multiple select statements, aliased tables, and concatenated or constructed fields in a SELECT statement will display the result columns correctly in the database browser.
