hi dear,
Thnx for showing interest in this problem of mine.
I am trying to create a local olap cube.
The create cube syntax is part of the code which is used to create a cube.
U can refer to the following link---
http://www.localcubetask.com/createwithvb.htm
This syntax is a general syntax to create local cubes which r then connected to relational databases to populate data into them.. eg sql server ,oralce or ms access etc..
so in case u come across the editor to check such statements kindly let me know..
I have been working on this code,which throws an error -syntax error in coulumn definition...
The code is provided below...
Thnx..
Loydon
