About AMM Project projects

A project made from the AMM Project template can be used to create a custom Meridian Enterpriseclient application. These are stand-alone executable (.exe) applications that access a Meridian Enterprise vault. Typically these are small utility programs, such as a custom reporting tool.

From your custom application you can use all documented Meridian Enterprise server and client functionality, with the exception of the interface extension designer object.

Note    When you are running a custom client, VBScript events and property pages defined in the Meridian Enterprise Configurator will not work.

Note    Interface extensions will not be launched when methods like NewDocument are invoked by a custom client application using the server API. Use the client-side libraries (like AMEdmUI.IAMEdmUINew.NewDocument) to ensure that interface extensions are invoked.

The AMM Project template already references the most commonly used Meridian Enterprise libraries. It also provides an extended form that you can use as a simple user interface.

The form extends basic features like:

• Selecting a vault
• Selecting a time context
• Selecting a work area
• Starting a transaction

By default, the form contains a single command button. The code for this button demonstrates how to start a transaction in the selected context.
