Clark,
thanks for the clarification on what it took to get win32ole to work. Sounds like it might be worth my time to do a complete reinstall of SU and try again.

Martin,
what you mention sounds interesting. We're basically trying to read the contents of an MDB file and use this information to draw objects. Is this the type of things you're doing with MS Access and Java, and if so, could you provide an example?

Thanks to you both,
Kevin

Clark,
appreciate the reply - confirms that we should indeed be able to get this to fly. A few questions for you:

Did you have to do anything special to get this work such as locate certain files in a particular location (i.e. win32ole.so, etc.) or maybe setup your PATH statement to look into a particular location?
Assume you're running Windows - version...?
Are you running the default Ruby installed with SketchUp - I think in SketchUp 7 it's Ruby 1.8.0?

Bottom line is we need to get past the error on our require statement and looks like we'll probably be good. Any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated...!

Thanks again,
Kevin

Hello,
been searching the forums for a while now without luck, so decided to post a new topic. What we're trying to do is utilize MS Access mdb files as a basis to do some drawing within SketchUp. As such, we've read to use Win32ole.so, etc. The problem we're experiencing is when the command <require 'Win32ole.so'> is executed, it comes back with the following error (note we have no problems with the same line of code when executing in pure Ruby, outside of SketchUp):

Error: #<LoadError: D:/apps/SketchUp/Plugins/Win32OLE.so: 127: The specified procedure could not be found. - Init_Win32OLE
D:/apps/SketchUp/Plugins/Win32OLE.so>

Note one post mentioned capitalization which I tried with no luck. For reference, I'm running Win XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Kevin
