I am writing an app in Vb using Visual Studio 2005 and the RE API and have run into a problem displaying a Constituent form. Strangely I have been able to display an RE Gift form in exactly the same environment and with nearly identical code. Has anyone come upon similar problems? The details are ... Code Dim oSuppForm As CConstituentForm, ...

J has covered the options well. Just to clarify though, if you get either of the VBA or API modules you'll need a programmer to utilize them. They're both about writing code to carry out the tasks you want done. Also, unless they're priced differently in the States I would suggest getting only one of the VBA or API modules. The VBA module is ...

You'd need the API module to do it from outside RE (which isn't cheap!) Offhand I don't think you can actually get passwords, but you could validate a userid and password combo simply by trying to login to RE with them.

You need to use IBBAction2 and IBBNotePad eg dim oAct2 as IBBAction2, oNote as IBBNotePad, oAct as CAction ... ... oAct.Load (1) set oAct2 = oAct for each oNote in oAct2.Notepads next

We're using IE6 with no apparent problems. It doesn't sound like it's simply the version of IE that's the problem.

One possibility is that the RE objects you're using themselves have memory leaks, or even that some of the Windows forms objects also leak. I have a sneaking suspicion that Listboxes leak. That said, one should check one's code very carefully before casting stones. It's pretty easy to miss a leak. and it only takes one if you hit it often ...

use the Gift_fld_EFT_Id field to load the RG ie set oRG = new CGift oRg.load oGift.fields(Gift_fld_EFT_ID)

Have never tried to access the RECURRINGGIFTACTIVITY onject but to get from a Recurring Pay Cash gift to its parent Recurring Gift use the field oGift.Fields(GIFT_fld_EFT_Id). This gives you the record id of the Recurring gift so you can load it as below Dim oEftGift As CGift Set oEftGift = New CGift 'get the recurring ...

This is a semi-solution. Try navigating around the open windows with Alt-Esc rather than Alt-Tab. This seems to bring up the RE modal windows as well (although I have seen instances where this doesn't seem to work, but I'm not sure if there's a pattern or not.)

Red-Gate SQL Log Rescue looks like it might enable you to do this (amongst other things).I haven't yet tried it but they have a 14 day trial version. If you do try it I'd be interested to hear your opinion.
