Calculated fields
Could someone help with explaining with an example ot two the basics of entering code to get calculated fields to work. Looking through what examples I can find, if I use this code -, , Begin, table1FieldZ.value := table1FieldX.value * table1FieldY;, End;, , I get a message 'undeclared identifier table1FieldX' is because I have not declared something? It's very hard to work these things out when many of the so called help pages only give "the" line of code and miss out all the other stuff., , Also I can find examples to put a calculated field into a grid, but what do I have to do to display a calculated field in a box?, Thanks, Tom.

Need BDE replacement
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

Cursor change when program busy
Well I spend a few days away and a few days feverishly sat at my pc till the wee hours as the dreaded deadline day approaches and exactly 1 person here at the prestwood boards notices my absence. Big Grin! , , Ah well, return with a question, thats my motto. Big Grin! , , The app I am about to finish is a database program which runs over a network. This is all fine and dandy on our network, however some users of the software are running much slower networks so there is a delay when they select a screen as the system travels across the network, locates the data and then retrieves it. What I have been asked is whether or not I can change the cursor from an arrow to an egg timer when this delay occurs. Is there any kind of universal procedure for this? Geek Alert!

I've been told the Windows API CreateProcess is the one to use if you need to know when the process you started has terminated. I don't have code at my fingertips, but searching on "CreateProcess" at the Borland newsgroup archives, or at just about any major Delphi website, should give you something you can use.

Networking my app!!
I have written an application which uses a shed load of tables which I now need to make networkable. I have set up the system so that it all points to the one set of tables on the server as is the norm but my problem is this. I cant seem to make the workstation machines synchronise properly due to the way they use the tables. For instance, to search through a huge list of records they can filter the customers table by certain criteria until they narrow it down enough to see the record they want in a DBGrid. This works great, but what if somebody on another workstation is just saving a new customer, or another workstation is wanting to filter the table in a different way? At the moment the app is set up using the BDE and standard TTable and datasource components (not sure if this is the best way) using DBF files. Any advice, pointers etc would be most greatful?, , Thanks in advance [Smile]

Inserting a combo box in a grid?
Hi., , I'm using Delphi 6 Pro with the Zeos Database components to access a MySQL server., , On this database, I've got two tables: adress_type and adress., , adress_type:, ID: INT, type: VARCHAR, , adress:, ID: INT, name: VARCHAR, adress_type_ID: INT, , , adress.adress_type_ID is a "foreign" key referencing adress_type.ID. I'd like to display the contents from adress in a ZDBGrid using the following SQL:, , SELECT a.ID, a.name, at.type, FROM adress a LEFT JOIN adress_type at ON a.adress_type_ID = at.ID, , Furhter, the column at.type should not be displayed as a simple text column, but it instead it should be a (DB?)LookupComboBox *showing* all the possible values from adress_type and using adress_type.ID as the value., , Well - since I'm new to Delphi, I don't even have the slightest idea how I might do this., , Could somebody please be so kind and try to help me?, , Thanks a lot,, Alexander Skwar

Well, it sounds like you need to use some descendent of dbCtrlGrid rather than dbGrid. Or, there are a lot of third-party grids with extended functionality -- some of the more popular ones (not of which I can personally vouch for) are Orpheus, InfoPower, ExpressQuantumGrid, TopGrid, etc. And there are freeware or shareware grids on Torry's, DSP, etc. as well.

I have seen this error many times., It appears when you are working with a Paradox database and for some reason, Windows or the program that uses the database is not responding any more and you must reset the computer., Some times, when I try to open the database again, some of the blob fields are damaged., , I have tried to create a process to fix that in Paradox databases, but I can not., , If somebody can handle that, please say how!!!!

I'm not sure about this one. I do know you can write a middle ware type peice and serve up the data from on location to another. The new trend these days is to use an XML Web Service., , Also, I would question the basic architecture. I would explore the idea of setting up two databases (one at each location) and than replicate the data to keep the databases in sync. You can even use two phase commits to keep them in sync at all times.
