Hi, I am trying to install an "not really really old" ITT KSU. Handles two outside lines and I think 6 phones, although I only have three. I have been trying to find a manual or a wiring diagram in the internet but nothing appears, no references, no mention, no images. It is af it never...

Lazarus variable types include "Records" to handle a set of difrent type data, and "Arrays" for data of same type, so I will be using an array of records. There are also dbedits to acess table records directly. Not sure about colections, will look into it (seems to me a record is a type of...

Hi Olaf, Many thanks for your reply. After reading your post I realize: 1. Yes, this is the wrong forum. The question is one of programing procedure and not a database design issue. Sorry. Will see if there is a proper forum, and clear up the question. 2. The dificulty is mostly my lack of...

I am working on a form where the users can input data into two related tables, basically a master table and a detail table, the second with several records that relate to the master. On a similar program I had the details input into a grid related to a detail table query, and had procedures to...

Hi Matt The app is in the desktop's hard disk and is running fine. The laptop only had (we thought) a direct access icon pointing to it as: \\Desktop\DesktopFolder\AppFolder\App to run in: \\Desktop\DesktopFolder\AppFolder. Henry

Hi I know nothing about PB. We have a PB POS App installed on Win98 desktop operated as cash register and also as server for network to a laptop with WinXPpro as client for reports and ocasional sales. Laptop HDisk is failing and was replaced and new Xp installed. Bad disk still holding out in...

Never too late to say thanks again. Have read up on Firebird and will try it out soon on a new project to build from scratch, now that my "viewer" of old data is done. I understand it to be a good alternative to mySQL, PostgreSQL and the likes (neither of which I have ever used). An overkill...

Thank you guys. Sorry I took so long to get back to you, but I do this for fun, and the only time available is late at night or over weekends. To roo0047: I went back and read carefully the eleven page License on the Turbo. Nothing on the BDE. On line Delphi docs did not help much either, but a...

Thank you for your tip edioilha. Values under H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\... seem ok to me, and app runs fine on PC with downloaded Turbo Delphi. Problem is that compiled exe file does not include with it all it needs to run on any other PC. Will check more carefully and post results.

Hi I am just starting with Delphi (downloaded free explorer version of Turbo Delphi). As a learning tool and gift to an org I donate time to, I developed a very simple three form app to access one DBF table of an old (but in use) DOS program -in Clipper-. Basically my Dephi app locates all...

Hi, perhaps this is helpfull: After downloading some updates for Norton Antivirus and Windows98, my PC went bonkers, one of many nasty problems it developed was freezing on shutdown because "eglEClientWnd" did not respond. After many many hours of anguish I still cannot get the Norton...

Many thanks to Christiann from Belgium, the FAQ was not an exact fit, but it did help me think. Problem is now solved. Send me yr e-mail and I'll send you a postcard. Enrique Maza from Guatemala mazaenrique@hotmil.com

Havent slept for three days trying to get a simple thing to work. We use a form to report work in progress status. It has a comb box to select current stepname, but since not all steps apply to all job types, we added a text field to the table used by combo box for selection, with the job-type...

Well, I gues different opinions are a lot better than none, and surely,there is more than one good solution to any given design. I yust wanted to say thanks again for all the advise, I got more than I expected.
