Database Desktop Issue 1

[Stretchwickster]

I have recently been creating some tables using Delphi's Database Desktop. I have created them as Paradox 7 tables but once I've saved and re-opened them they are Paradox 5 tables despite their creation version. Can anyone explain why and also how to create version 7 tables? Clive

Hi

Well if you create Paradox7 with Database Desktop Im not sure how it will downgrade itself to v5. But if you want to create v7 Paradox tables when using functions like CreateTable goto the BDE Administrator then goto the "Configuration" tab then in then goto

Configuration->Drivers->Native->Paradox

Make sure the Level setting is set to 7

That should fix any problem you may be having.


Happy Holidays!

How do I link a graphic image say .bmp to the blob declaration in the database desktop. Another way to put this question is :
How does borland link the images in the fishfact file(delphi 4) I see no evidence of the physical files containg the images.
I want to write an estate management prog. where a data file containg the images are displayed using dbimage & I cannot do it. Pls help.

very frustrated!!!

2)I would like to write code to log/control phone calls using a pbx machine. How do I parse the output from the pbx machine?

It looks to me like they have a tBlobfield named "Graphic", and they are displaying it in a TDBImage component.

If you want to use a .bmp file, you can probably just link to the file by using a filename field and loading the image into a regular tImage at runtime like this

Image.Picture.LoadFromFile(Table1ImageFileName.AsString); "The difference between practice and theory is that in theory, there is no difference between practice and theory" - Somebody's tag line I stole
