Subject: RE: [Vantage] Re: Epicor 9.05.700C - BAQ return summary data
I just made the SQL view and tried to call it in a BAQ as an external
query, but I can't get past eh ODBC connection.
I know the ODBC is installed and working fine as I use it with
Access/Excel all the time.
Maybe because it's a view and Epicor is as for a database name?

Since you are on 9.05 and already have your query written in SQL, you
could try creating the query as a SQL view in your database. Then go
into the BAQ and select File / New External BAQ to point to the view you
created.
I've only tried it 1 other time and had an issue with the way I believed
Epicor was running the view. When I called the tools support they told
me they would never create a temp table of all records and they
themselves didn't support SQL view writing. My view was written properly
so I dropped it and created a custom crystal report instead of using BAQ
reports. If you try it and it works please let me know - I'm going to
have to stick within the software (e.g. BAQ reports rather than
SQL/Crystal) more since I may have to support multiple languages now...
