Sorry for the easy one, but how do I open a dcx file to edit the code? Nothing in the PDF version of the help file. Feel free to flame my butt, as long as give me a pointer. :)

Hello Paul,

There is no way to edit (at a 'human' fashion) a DCX file. It is scrambled by the compiler which turns human words originally used to create the macro, into machine language. All you will see are unconnected an unsorted letters and characters.

When compiled it can be understood only by DataCAD machine language routines.

[Edit: BTW, what was actually your target for editing a DCX file ?]

Thanks,
Miguel
