How
it works
FobView
can load fbk or fob files and displays a list of the objects
stored in these files. Information about each object is shown
just as in the Object Designer. Unfortunately the flags
"Modified" and "Compiled" are not supported
in this version.
Two
files can be loaded for comparison. FobView can search for
objects that are equal in both files or different in both files.
The
list can be exported to a file or it can be printed.
Files
can be loaded by...
- ... using the "Load
file" buttons to load file #1 or file #2
- ... dropping athe file to the
FobView dialog. A dialog appears to select if the file is
to be loaded as file #1 or file #2:

- ... double clicking a fob or
fbk file icon
(The first time the "Open with..." window
appears. Browse to FobView.exe to create a file
association)
