EViews.com

Hi,

I am using EViews Enterprise Editon 7.1 Mar 7 2011 build on my desktop running Win XP SP3

What I am trying to do is to import exchange rates into an object in a workfile
I choose Edit / Import / Import from file /
In the 'Open' window I choose 'ODBC' als Files of type and select a datasource for my MS SQL server DB

Everything is working well when I just select a view or a table from the database.
Then I will get a window 'ODBC Data Source Clipboard Read' filling out everything and the import will create a new object showing all the data I need.

But when I try to select the data within EViews I will always run into this issue:
- I choose to 'Enter table description or query' and 'Build Query' in the 'Select table' window
- MS Query starts and asks to select a table / view and some columns
- I choose a table/view an some columns
- Everything works fine until I choose 'Return to EViews'
- After choosing this EView crashes showing the following problem signature in a window message box
-- Windows XP (NT 5.1 Build 2600)
-- AppName: eviews7.exe
-- AppVer: 7.0.0.1
-- ModName: eviews7.exe
-- ModVer: 7.0.0.1
-- Offset: 00014fc7

I have tried to do this on another computer and ended up with the same result.

Any idea?

Thanks
Alf

Good find. We've fixed this bug and it will be released in the next patch. You can also download the new ev_dset.dll that contains this fix here:

(Remember, it always a good idea to keep a backup of any files that are updated in case you need to revert back).
