Recently, I made an excel spreadsheet stacker where, given a list of excel workbook paths, it would stack them all into one. Then I thought, this would be beyond great to stack Bentley Spec tables on top of one another so we can do a search and troubleshoot quicker. In short, open up the SpecTables […]
Here I am writing to a client explaining which technology is the best. The end use is a one table, muliti-report application. Perhaps a few tables with selection lists, but the main data is in one table. The 2nd phase adds 2 more tables. This company is not a Windows shop, but has no Macs […]
This is a WT* moment in my opinion. Filemaker Go does not support the Import script function except from Filemaker databases and NOT from XML datasources from a website. Enter “Import From URL script step” to solve my issue. For the interim this means that for a work-around for my deadline, I had to copy the dB, work […]

OK – so I FINALLY have the whole mystery solved of what happens to SySID’s (sys id’s) in the front end (generation) and use (in DWG model files). Ideally they should match – so if you can’t change the source (out of my control) let try to change the destination?? Lets investigate. First, I have needed to […]
I have a customer who wanted help with getting a landing page onto their wi-fi. Now Coova networks has some solutions and pay-per-month services exist where users can log in exchange for making an account do exist. A link and name is needed but there is also Wifi Dog which is an open source project […]
A Bentley article that talks about components not getting updated with Spec Gen and how the sysId plays into this. It is a great discussion about how sysId’s are generated used and how they affect things. There are links that take the discussion further and show more insight in how Bentley’s system was created in […]
