    Trying to get rid of BDE

    Ugh. I know I should have bid a fond farewell to the BDE long ago...but it just seems so daunting. My question is: What would the best rout be for converting? ADO? dbExpress? I've never used dbExpress but I have tried ADO. What are the benefits to each? Also, am I going to have any issues if...

    Windows won't remember network login

    Original Post I posted this question a few months back in the Windows forum, and was told to come here after some discussion. Our network admin told me that this problem would be fixed when we upgrade our PDC to a newer OS (the current one is running Fedora 1!!), but I'm starting to doubt his...

    Trouble with Windows XP client on Linux network

    I posted this in the Windows XP forum already, but I figured someone in here might be able to help. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Windows or with the Linux server. I think the server is still running Fedora 1...so god only knows. Anyway...on to the question. I just got upgraded (finally)...

    Windows Won't remember network password.

    I just got upgraded (finally) to Windows XP Pro. We've been using 2000 forever. I'm running SP3. The servers I need to access are running Linux, and with 2000 I was asked for a password for each server I was mapped to upon logging into Windows. Now with XP Pro it just won't connect to the...

    Laserjet 8550 not printing Cyan

    We have an HP Laserjet 8550 that's about 6 or 7 years old. It just recently stopped printing cyan. I just put a brand new cyan toner in and still won't print any blues. The other ton cartridges are covered in cyan toner on one side (the side that goes into the printer). Any ideas?

    Creating a text file

    Hello. I have a program that needs to write data to a text file. The text file will have a different name depending on certain parameters. I have the "writing to the text file" part working just fine, but I need to be able to create the file if it doesn't already exist. Is there a way to do...

    Adding months to TDatetime

    I have an application where I need to put a date in my database that is 22 months from the date entered in the app. I'm not sure how to add months to a date in Delphi. I tried just Tdatetime + 22, and that adds days...but the number of days will never be the same, so that won't work. Is there...

    On Form Minimize

    I'm trying to get a form to do something upon minimizing. I'm able to use the applicationEvents for minimizing the main form, but this doesn't work for any sub forms, it seems. Is there a way to tell a form to do something when it's minimized?

    Changing icons and keeping time

    So here's a stupid question. I have a program that minimized to the system tray. That works fine now :) I'm wanting to change the icon when a certain date comes about. So I want the user to be able to have the app open all the time, and see the icon change when something comes due. I've...

    Creating an onMinimize procedure

    Hey there. I'm making an application that will minimize to the tray, and notify the user when certain dates come about. I'm able to send it to the tray and hide the form with a button, but I wanted to make it so it would hide the form if they were to minimize the app as well. I'd also LIKE to...

    Any way to grab machine name?

    I'm having an issue trying to track a group of users who all log in with the same user name. I'm just trying to put a new record in the DB with the changes they make. Normally I'd just use their user name, but obviously can't. Is there any way to get the computer name from windows and plug...

    Connecting to remote DB

    Hello. I'm just a beginner here, so I appologize for any stupid questions. I'm trying to get Ruby on Rails to connect to a remote MySQL databse I've set up. I'm able to use a MySQL database setup on my local machine just fine, but when I copy it to our server and change the databse.yml file...

    Form color changing

    I just changed all the forms in a program to be a little more appealing to the eye. Well, I used one of the predefined colors in Delphi7 for the form backgrouds and when I ran the .exe on another computer the backgrouns were all black instead of blue. All the other colors were right, just not...

    Multi line SQL

    I'm using Delphi 7 connecting to a MySQL database via BDE (I know, stone age). Well, I'm trying to populate the Tquery object with more than one SQL statement and it's giving me errors. I thought maybe I needed to include the semicolon, but no luck. It works fine with only one line. The...

    Printing Images

    I have a program that searches through *a lot* of scanned images based on a project number. As it is now the program pulls a list of tifs for a project, and allows the user to open a selected tif in their default program. The issue I have is that the users need to be able to print ALL of the...

    Searching directory for images

    I need to be able to read in all of the bmp files in a directory, preferably as strings, and be able to parse the filesnames somehow. My higher-up's have decided to scan in our work orders and name the files something like "account#-date.bmp", and I need to be able to find the files based on...

    Starting a rave report maximized

    Pretty basic question. When I open a rave report from within my program, it brings up the "print" "preview" dialog and when I click on "preview" it comes up in a very small window that then needs to be maximized. I was just wondering if there was any way to tell it to come up maximized. I...

    Scrambled text

    We only have a few users who use wordperfect, so I'm not sure of all the in's and out's. Bear with me. I have a user using WP9 and she has a rather large text document saved to a local network drive. She saves the file in perfect condition, the file is touched ONLY by her, and the next time...

    Error when posting to database

    I'm having a problem, in all of my programs, that is beginning to rear it's ugly head too often. In a program that used ".edit" and ".post" commands to update a record I sometimes get an error saying "coudn't preform the edit because another user changed the record". This normally happens if...
