Session class could not be found for SessionType: DBISAMSession

rbuser

I've had this whole thing working before, but since then I have a new
computer and I believe a newer version of DBISAM as well.

I tried to follow the steps outlined in
rbuilder\demos\enduserdatabases\dbisam\native\readme.doc. The file
references rbisam45 and rbisam55. I assume these are supposed to be rbisam75
so I used that instead. When I tried to compile it, I got an error message:
Required package 'db316d5d' not found. I surmised that this was a dbisam
package, and changed it to db329d5d, as I'm using dbisam v3.29. It compiles
ok then, the timestamps get changed as they should, but alas, no joy: no
option of DBISAMSession appears for SessionType. (The error message I noted
on the subject line appears when I set SessionType to DBISAMSession anyway
and double click the data dictionary component.) Can you spot something I
might be doing wrong? Or is there perhaps an incompatibility with dbisam
3.29? I'm using rb7.04, Delphi 5.

TIA

Hi Sue,

Once you compile the RB/DBISAM packages successfully, you will need to
install and activate them inside the Delphi IDE to get access to the
DBISAMSession type. Open the package you created, compile it, then install
it. Then select the Component | Install Packages ... option from the Delphi
IDE and be sure the entery for "ReportBuilder Data Access for DBISAM" is
present and checked.
