EndNote API

[ellenfieldn]

I am attempting to import records in RSXML format using the following code:

if( (iRet=pLitCiterDB->ImportRecords(pXML->c_str(),NULL,false,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL)) != kServiceNoErr )

 This causes EndNote to crash, without really giving much useful information (to me at least). (I've included WinDbg output at the bottom) For the record, pXML just contains "<records> </records>" and the database is a newly created, empty database.

Passing a reference to an IRecordListPtr fixes this; however, the API states that this parameter can be NULL.

if( (iRet=pLitCiterDB->ImportRecords(pXML->c_str(),NULL,false,NULL,&pImportedList,NULL,NULL,NULL)) != kServiceNoErr )

In this scenario, I am importing records into an empty database, so I have not yet run into a situation where I will have duplicate or replaced records. If I do have duplicates or replaced records, will I need to pass a reference to the respective fields to avoid having this error?

I just tried importing with the reset of the fields set to NULL and it did work for me, so your second call should work fine:

if( (iRet=pLitCiterDB->ImportRecords(pXML->c_str(),NULL,false,NULL,&pImportedList,NULL,NULL,NULL)) != kServiceNoErr )

Mhm... I have teh same problem and I can't find a good answer nowhere.
