------------------------------CHEMFINDER NOTES:
A. The new Identity search type is intended for use in compound registration,
when it is necessary to know if a perfectly identical copy is already
present in the database. It is similar to an exact, full-structure search,
except that generic atom and bond types, e.g. "R", "A", "Double-orAromatic", in the query match corresponding atoms/bonds in the target
only if they are also of the special generic type. Thus, an "R" hits only
another "R" atom. Moreover, stereochemistry must match precisely between
query and target. If the query's stereo is unspecified, so must be the
target's.
B. Samples
The Samples directory located in the ChemFinder folder contains
several small databases, forms, and sample scripts.
The Cs_Demo database contains about 300 structures covering a
range of structural types. The database contains two tables,
both of which are visible using the form Cs_Demo.cfw. This is
the form used in the tutorials in the ChemFinder User's Guide.
Demo.cfw is a simpler form which displays only the main table
of the same database.
We recommend you make a working copy of the database before
experimenting with it, because if you make changes to the
data or structures in that database, the examples in the
tutorials may no longer give the documented results. The
following procedure creates a working copy of the Cs_Demo.cfw
database.
To make a copy of the database:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Select Cs_Demo.cfw, Cs_Demo.mdb, Cs_Demo.msi, Cs_Demo.mst,
right-click, and then choose Copy.
3. Deselect the files you selected in step 2.
4. Right-click and choose Paste. Copies of the files are added to
the directory.
You can now experiment with adding, modifying, and deleting
data in the copies with no effect on the Demo script or the Cs_Demo
database.
C. Visual Basic Automation Change
You must now declare a Molecule object as As Object. Declaring
a molecule as ChemFinder.Molecule is no longer supported. Visual
Basic client applications being served by ChemFinder will no
longer compile if they contain codedeclaring a molecule this
// Correct
// Incorrect, not supported
