<< It sounds like it's not possible to widely distribute an existing database with a product using elevateDB, since one can't really know where it will be stored. >> Absolutely not. It is no different than DBISAM in terms of what you can do with it "in the field". Fernando's post was slightly confusing due to the wording. He was simply saying that you need to know where you want to put everything ahead of time *if you don't want to have to make any adjustments to the configuration file for the database paths*. However, making adjustments to the database paths is very easy: http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb_faqt_2.htm Whether you distribute the configuration file or not with your application depends upon whether you are using custom user security and/or jobs. If you are using the stock-standard user security and no jobs, then you can just distribute the database catalogs and re-add the databases during runtime using the CREATE DATABASE statement. For most applications coming from DBISAM, think of the configuration file as simply the transfer of the database names/paths from the application's TDBISAMDatabase component(s) to a file on disk, so that you only need to use the database name in your application. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I placed my order and hope to start the project in the near future. Finest regards, Bill Root |

If you have any problems, remember that you can call or Skype me at any time: http://www.elevatesoft.com/contacts.htm The learning curve for EDB is a little higher than DBISAM, so it's normal to require clarification of how things work in EDB vs. DBISAM. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
