GUISIMPOLSERVER

[JD Kromkowski]

What was the final verdict on this? when I try to run it I get message that SMPOL32.dll is missing? I can though see smpol32.dll in the SIMPOL/bin/ dir. JDK

Good morning I was going to send you an email to say thanks for the
code you posted for the month & quarter dialog. Very pro !!!
The problem with guisimpolserver is that it is in an .exe form & therefore
not in the right place. I spoke to Neil about this 2/3 months ago & he
said he was going to fix it in the next release but we spoke again few
days ago & he said he was working on it. I think he wants to change to
smp format as with simpolserver.
He did say however that he was adding more specific & complete
instructions on setting up the server with guisimpolserver.
I just transferred guisimpolserver.exe and bzip2.dll into the bin & did a
cmd on it with c:simpolutilitiessimpolserversample_gui.cfg as the
extension
Got me a "Can't load image from file simpolserver.png file does not
exist" message BUT the program came up & it works.
PS Re the sample.cfg file in the simpolserver folder there is a typing
error
port1=4000
txfactor1=0
port2=4001
txfactor=6 should be txfactor2
tcpport=4002
logfilename=samplelog.txt
bz2libdll=x:simpolprojectsppsrguisimpolserverbinbzip2.dll

Neil explained to me that you only need the 4001 port if you are doing LAN
and WAN otherwise you can take it out. However if you do need it the
txfactor after port2=4001 should read txfactor2
You'll also have to modify the destination code for the bz2libdll= to just
bzip2.dll as it is in the same folder.
For the moment i'm using the simpolserver.smp & waiting for news from Neil.
However the gui version does a lot more & is certainly more pro Windows. I
tried doing a database backup once I'd created the c:usersetc etc etc
folder It executed something but there was nothing in the folder so need
more info on this.
Hope this helps & once again thanks for the code Ian Macpherson
