When I press a button on my latest amazing application nothing happens (that's not surpising in itself) except that a message flashes across the screen at triple the speed of light , , I would like to know what it is trying to tell me as that may have a bearing why the button does nothing in the first place. Any ideas? , , I suppose it could of course be Angel's mugshot.. , rt

Which takes precedence - the section in the project file where it gives a list of forms to be automatically created at startup or my choice of form creation via the project option selection bit? , , The majority of examples in the online help use "Free" in some context when closing forms, yet hidden away in the depths of the very same online help it also says to use "Release" in preference to "Free" when closing forms as it allows for all actions to finsh before closing. I doubt if I will ever find that particular bit again, but does some clever type know the reasoning\answer?

Am using CodeGear 2007 Win32 with dBase, ACE Reporter, Woll2Woll, JEDI components; therefore I have a lot of TTables and TQueries throughout my program. My applciation runs on a 2003 server with XP workstations. The response time to access data (retrieve, post, do SQLs) is horrible. The users are demanding something better. But I don't know what is better. And I don't know what the ramfications are in changing to something better. I sincerely hope that someone can give me recommendations as well as address the difficulty in changing to another database. Thank you so much, Charlie

I was asked by someone if I could put together a little program which at the press of a button would shut down Windows (and not just go to a DOS window) and then run a true DOS program and then close the system down - although I doubt this last bit., , Naturally I waved the white flag at this, but hoped that someone here may have an inkling of what to do. , , I understand that the DOS program is something to obliterate the windows swop file, so it did'nt take a great deal of brain power to guess that the said computer may have been visiting the likes of naughty Nora's enormous knocker sites , , Well, each to his own I suppose, but out of interest could this be done in Delphi? , rt

I wrote a program by D6 personal. Initially for fun, but now it turns out I may sell it for some money. Does anyone know how much money I need to pay borland if I want sell a program written by D6 per? I'm a student, $1000 pro version is too much for me. I hope I will not need to re-write it by c++. Borland's tools are excellent, but the price is a little high.

I'm using TWebBrowser sample that came with Delphi 5. I found a web site that causes a error dialog box titled Internet Explorer Script Error. The same site will run without error on IE 5., , The site: "http://kimspitstop.infoside.dk/", , I downloaded a Sink program that I can monitor the events (and text of the events) of IE 5. It shows that a few pages have errors, but I don't understand why, unless it's the same problems; however, I think IE 5 throws the errors away without showing the dialog box., , Might someone volunteer why the TWebBrowser does it and the IE 5 doesn't. Is there a way to catch the error(s)? Using the property "Silent" will keep the dialog from showing, but after several times of hitting that error the sample has lots of problems - Ole stuff., , Tim R.

Now I will readily admit that I aren't the brightest candle in the shop window when it comes to SQL, so I need help (Im looking at you Mr Wehrly!)., , My report splits into four groups, each group containing a list of items for that group and their current value. I list my data using QRDBEdits and it works fine. However, I would like to exclude any items where the figure is "0.00". I figure to do this I need a QRExpr instead of the QRDBEdit but I dont know how to make it work properly with the SQL code. In delphi, I would write something like this., , if Currency((Query2.Debit - Query2.Credit)) <> 0 then , , but how to do it in Sql???, , Answer this for me and Ill get around to sending Mike my picture for the avatars. Im growing my beard as we speak!

My calls to DBIInit(nil) fail (with no error message) unless I open the BDE administrator. When the BDE admin. is open my code writes the alias, if not it just does nothing., , A breakdown of my code (as I don't have it with me) is, , check(DBIInit(nil));, then the dbiaddalias() is called, then i free the bde., , Any ideas?
