  • Yes the originals files are now in the library path and I still have the
    same datadictionary problem.

    I have it with :

    dbExpress/Interbase
    IBExpress/Interbase
    BDE/Interbase
    BDE/Paradox

    I didn't ch…
  • Hello,
    Sure now the GetTableNames procedure works properly,
    I had a conflict between the two dxexpint.dlls on my system.

    Sure also that switching at runtime between use/not use DataDictionary
    doesn't work.
    RB keep the …
  • A quick answer (time difference) I didn't check all...
    First sorry for the different thread.
    Well, to obtain those kind of result I had to modify the
    daDbExpress.GetTableNames as wrote above.
    My connection parameters are exactly …
  • Thanks for that.
    AFI can tell, generating the Table List works if you remove the test for
    quotes in ppUtils.pas but then generate Fields List fails because it
    enquotes an already enquoted table name.

    There was no warning on your product features or limitations regarding non
    support of an increasingly requested part of SQL specification.

  • Seems to be ok now since removing the rb data dictionary, I was confused in

  • Hi MacBar,

    Thank you very much for offering your code. That is very nice of you. I'd
    like very much to try it out. My email address is wboctor@hotmail.com.

    Thanks again and I'll let you know how it works out for me.

    Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'm having a problem compiling the
    code you're suggesting though. In my Delphi (7 Ent), properties and methods
    of the TStream object (e.g. EOLF, NextLine) don't seem to be lega…

  • Hi Waguih,

    I have got the same aplication layout as you described and the same problem
    also (RB 7.02).

    I've solved the dataview db assignment at runtime:

  • Hi Jim,

    Now I got it: There was a BDE alias with the same name as the database
    object that was choosen in the DataSettings of RB. I gues in this case RB
    just ignores the SessionType and tries to connect to the BDE alias.
  • YES, that works!!! Thank you!
    But why does RB create the wrong DataView object? I checked the data
    settings, and they are definitively correct. Is this a bug? And if so, do
    you see a workaround?

  • Hi Jim, thanks for your advice. I checked the event code and the template
    file, but there is nothing wrong.
    Except for the line "object daBDEQueryDataView1: TdaBDEQueryDataView" in the
    template file. Why BDE? this is a IBXSession! Cou…
  • Jim, it doesn't appear to have worked the way you indicate, because for as
    long as the TDatabase component was on the datamodule it never used it. As I
    mentioned, the TDatabase's AliasName reference was being switched to point
    to the …
  • Hi Mario,

    I guess it is a DBISAM/Windows issue. Check the settings for the environment var 'TEMP', or ask in any DBISAM group.

  • I'm having the same problem, but I use Apollo. There is an Apollo Dade
    plugin that is included with their 6.1 file set, but judging from this
    thread, it must have been written for RB 6. You don't have any Apollo
    plugins on your w…
  • Anyone found any more info on these compile errors? We can get past those
    by simply including defines like the old one used to. But then we start

  • Thanks Jim,

    Fixing my problem was so simple when you look back at it.

    I had a TIBDatabase Component in my main Datamodule. plus i put another one
    in the Datamodule that housed the TReport Component. (Just like you said.
  • Keane,

    select the data page delete the existing pipeline a create a new one by calling 'File - New' from the menu (fundamentals, please take a look into manual 'RBuilder.pdf')

  • And how do i do this?

  • Keane,

    then I would recreate the pipeline without editing the SQL expression. It's a matter of seconds.
