I am looking for some help on an embedded customization to perform a
filtered lookup of data from the Part table to a UD table. I have
worked through the example in the Epicor Tools User Guide in the User-
Defined Tables section (pp 199-221 in the current addition) but am
running into a few problems.

The first issue is the sample code provided in the book doesn't compile
correctly and generates some error messages that don't make much sense
(especially to a non-programmer).

The second problem stems from the first. As a non-programmer I am
having trouble reading through the code and understanding where
modifications need to be made to adjust for our specific requirements.

Dose anyone have a successful inter-table filtered lookup embedded
customization that they could share the VB.net code script for? And/or
can anyone recommend a resource who is strong on embedded
customizations that may be able to help me trouble-shoot my
customization project?

We are on Vantage 8.03.403D

Thank you,

To offer any help, more info is needed on what the UD to Part (& perhaps other) table relationships are that you are trying to achieve. (What are you actually trying to accomplish?)

Also: Post your actual code. Someone might recognize an obvious error.

Finally: Compiler errors are deceptive as one root 'real' error can trigger a cascade of other reported errors.

General debugging rules:

Look for & correct obvious code syntax errors first like "line xxx expecting ')' end of statement" messages.

Then try to digest and resolve errors like "variable or object not declared". (All to easy to copy a subroutine code example that may have left out little details like the need to initially declare "Private (or Public) yourObjectName As typeObject" and/or also not initialize or dispose of them properly with some necessary oTrans, etc., statement.)

Finally, make sure you added the necessary custom assemblies to support the UD adapter you are utilizing.

(My sympathies... VB is pretty easy once it 'clicks' in your head and you get past the point of questioning every little thing - and stop simply trying to 'ape' existing working code or published code examples... The more often you use it, the easier it will get.)

Dose anyone have a successful inter-table filtered lookup embedded
customization that they could share the VB.net code script for? And/or
can anyone recommend a resource who is strong on embedded
customizations that may be able to help me trouble-shoot my
customization project?
