thank u very much, Towerbase, you were of great aid to me. I almost found the answer to my problem on FAQs. Still needs some improvement, but I guess I can make it out now. Emanuele

if fileexists(file_name) then begin fileopen(nome_file, fmopenread or fmShareDenyWrite); showmessage('ok'); end else showmessage('the file doesn't exist'); Me again!!! I'm adding the actual code. The message 'ok' appears and the application keeps running, but nothing...

Hi everybody! I'm developing a web application with Delphi 7. I have a DBgrid and some ComboBoxes to perform search operations; the resulting records are the names of some dwg (Autocad drawings) files, and everything works well. Now I'd like to open those files by clicking on the corresponding...

Dear towerbase, thank you for your advices. I also checked the dbexpress topic in FAQS. I've added the components you named to the form, and linked them in the proper way. Now, the program doesn't give errors anymore. Still, records in the dbgrid are not displayed. I verified that the...

Hi! I'm developing an Intranet web site, using Delphi to build the CGI executables that respond to calls from buttons on a web page. In particular, there's a page for searching a drawings archive: I use the querytableproducer component from the Internet palette to fetch the results back, and...

Ok, now the CODE is: case comparedate(data_tm, data_old) of 1 : BLOGGER1.Logga(num_dis+' --- '+data_str+' > '+data_old_str); 0 : BLOGGER1.Logga(num_dis+' --- '+data_str+' = '+data_old_str); -1 : BLOGGER1.Logga(num_dis+' --- '+data_str+' < '+data_old_str); end; with data_tm, data_old ...
