Hi,

I'm having trouble getting an application to run correctly from a flash drive, probably because the drive letter chnages from machine to machine when you plug the flash drive in.

I execute the following code in my applications FormActivate event:

I use DatabaseDirectory := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName) + 'DATA\' to get the database path

I then set Engine.ConfigPath := DatabaseDirectory;

I follow that with
Session.Execute('ALTER TABLE "MyDatabase" PATH ' + Engine.QuotedSQLStr(DatabaseDirectory))

When I try to execute my application, i get a 401 error "The path specified for the database MyDatabase does not exist"

However, when I first put my application on the flash drive, and had it create the database automatically, it worked fine.

Do you have UseLocalSessionEngineSettings (I do wish Tim had chosen a shorter, non-descriptive name) set to true in the engine. If so you need to set the LocalConfigPath in the session.

Richard,

Somehow you're not setting the path correctly.  If you want to send me the
code that you're using, I can take a look and tell you what the problem is.
