Yes, that will be the way to do it to avoid the syntax error message so have switched to that.

uses Data.Win.ADODB, System.SysUtils, ActiveX; It's already there.

Writeln('rows affected: ' + ADODataset1.Recordset.RecordCount.ToString()); // undeclared identifier ToString If I leave out ToString() I get a compile error and if I leave it in ToString is underlined in red and says undeclared identifier ToString The program compiles and runs ok, so what is...

Both of these work the same: ADOConnection1.Connected := true; ADOConnection1.Open();

The connection string was bad. The correct one: ADOConnection1.ConnectionString := 'Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID="";Initial Catalog=rec1;Data Source=localhost;Initial File Name="";Server SPN=localhost'; And it works!

Get the same exact error doing it that way. Yea, finding any useful relevant documentation on Delphi anymore is extremely difficult.

Woops. I found this on the dbGo tab. I may check into renaming this.

How can I add this? If I click add all it does it ask me for new component palette name. Not too useful. And why is TADO missing in the first place?

Seems to work. Thanks!

Thanks. That did get me a little bit farther. function TestConnection:string; begin try Writeln('Debug Line 1'); ADOConnection1 := Data.Win.ADODB.TADOConnection.Create(nil); Writeln('Debug Line 2'); ADOConnection1.ConnectionString := 'Data...

Here's something else that doesn't work: function TestConnection:string; begin CoInitialize(nil); // undeclared identifier: 'CoInitialize' try Writeln('Debug Line 1');

This is the IDE screen layout that I am talking about.

Everything I lock the computer or the screen saver comes on Delphi maximizes itself and redisplays windows that I had previously closed. How can I change this unwanted behavior?

I am trying to put it in the .dpr file (I would edit the above post but don't see how to do it).

Well, with this program anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Although I've used the Initialization section in the past, and have samples, even if I do it the same way I get this error: expected END but received INITIALIZATION
