Apps + Params Intervention
Hi! I'm trying to create a program that processes params when run. Basically, if you run the program with this syntax: "C:\Program.exe REQUEST INFO1 INFO2 INFO3" it should be able to process the commands accordingly and spit out result data. Here's what I have so far. It compiles without any...- SEP800

MDB Becomes Read-Only??
DjangMan, I wish I could do that. However, the existing application was not created by me. It's a commercial package that was purchased by the previous person in charge.

MDB Becomes Read-Only??
DjangMan, I'd love to do that but I can't. I'm building over a pre-existing system. My program simply acts as a middleman between to applications which use the same database. What my program does is back-up the database tables and extract data on a daily basis. Hence my predicament...- SEP800

MDB Becomes Read-Only??
I'm preety sure nothing else is. Unless I'm doing it wrong. BTW, I'm on Vista if that makes any difference... This is the code I'm using: procedure TDataModule1.ExtractSales; var ADOQuery1: TADOQuery; DSFileName, DSName: String; begin if ConnectToDB then begin SetStatus(0, 4...- SEP800

MDB Becomes Read-Only??
Hi! I'm having a problem doing an INSERT INTO using ADOQuery.ExecSQL. The data gets inserted into a text file after I run the command. However, whenever I open the MDB, it tess me that it's in Read-Only mode and shows me a Save As button. Can anyone tell me why that is? Maybe I'm doing...- SEP800
