I built a leader board that sorts the group information based on scoring, however, the computer I am utilizing doesn't have datalinq service. Is there a way to make this build work without linking the scoring to an excel document?

Please let me know, I'd greatly appreciate your insight.

Hi Lula,

If you don't have a Datalinq available on your XPression, then you only have two options;

• either you enter everything manually

• or you use the API to open a file and read the contents, but I will warn you straight away that you won't be able to open an Excel with it. You'll need a more simple .txt, or .csv-format.

You could use something like this in the OnOnline script:

Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\Test\FileName.txt"
Dim txtObj as xpTextObject
dim content as String

If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Self.getObjectByName("Text1", txtObj)
content = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(FILE_NAME)
txtObj.Text = content
End If

Hope it helps.

Thank you Kenneth! I appreciate your support!
