Access violation error with P2BBDE.DLL

[mthakershi]

Hi Friends,

I am using Paradox, BDE and Borland C++ on one project. And I am getting 'Access violation in P2BBDE.DLL at some read address' error when I try to do database operation that involves large amount of data.

I found solution for this on Crystal Report website. They have 132 KB P2BBDE.DLL and they say it won't give this error. I tried that. It still gives same error.

Then I tried something weird. I copied PDBBDE.DLL (16 bit) in C:\WINNT\CRYSTAL folder That error was no more. I know this is not the way to solve it. I can't manipulate Crystal DLL like this from my installation. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. And if I do this windows installer starts from my program and that is ridiculous.

If someone has faced this problem before then please help me. I need to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Any help or suggestion is appreciated,

Malay,

In this case, I'm afraid I can't help, as I've not used Crystal for several years now. It's possible that one of the other regulars has experience with this, but I'll bet you'll find folks with more Crystal experience in the Crystal Reports forum (if that's what's truly causing your GPV) or the Borland C++ forum.

Sorry...

Good news!!!

I was able to nail down this error. There was a problem with Paradox table. Table being used in that report had a field of type - 'AUTOINC'. As soon as I removed this field and incremented it manually, the error disappeared. Definitely the performance is not good but still I am able to put my components in production.

Thanks for answering my questions. I hope this helps victims in future.
