    The Handle is Invalid in IBMgr

    I already know WHAT this problem is... The Root Directory that the manager shows, it has a hard time reading. My problem is, it doesn't always do this on all windows machines, not even on all XP machines! I used the same CD to install the same thing on two identical computers sitting next to...

    Any way to get IB to assign a key # automatically?

    I'm writing a program that uses IBase and I have a field set aside for a key number, but since so many records get deleted and created so often, it's been a real challenge trying to assing it key numbers myself. Is there any way for IB to assign a new record a key automatically in a designated...

    Changing a neg # to a positive when selecting?

    I'm trying to show some data, and for a complicated reason, all of the integers in a particular field are negative. They're converted to positive in the program that uses them, but I'm using a SELECT statement to show the numbers, and I need them to be shown as positives (and realistically I'd...

    BorderIcon "Help" button, figure out when it's clicked...

    Does anybody know of a way to figure out where/when, the Help TBorderIcon clicks? Or even when it's in "help mode" for lack of a better term. Reason: There's a few panels & things I'd love to have context-sensitive help for, but when the user clicks on it, even though there's a context, it...

    Fastnet - Using a proxy with password

    Well it looks like FastNet is out of business, and I can't seem to find any relative documentation on this subject. I'm trying to log in to the internet using a proxy on a FastNet component (TNMHTTP). The component, however, doesn't have a place to put a user name or password for the proxy. I...

    Better way of getting a table record?

    As of right now I'm using a SQLDataSet, DataSetProvider and ClientDataSet to grab a SQL table I've got. The table, however, is about 500,000 records, and any time I try to load it with a good old fashioned CommandType = ctTable, it locks down. I have been using a query, "Select * from...

    I guess this is a rather simple SELECT question...

    I'm just trying to order some data correctly. In that respect, I've got the following SELECT statement... SELECT * FROM BKMASTER WHERE MATKEY='MCCOECO' ORDER BY MEDSTA ASC The thing is, there are only about 5 two-digit options for MEDSTA: NULL, "OE" "OP" "RT", etc. I want any records with...

    bcbie60 will not DIE

    I've got a rather large project and at some point somebody threw in a TCppWebBrowser component (and then removed it sometime). Now when I put the program on test computers it asks for bcbie60.bpl. I didn't want that dependency so I unchecked it from the "Packages" option and took "bcbie" out of...

    How to get embedded IBase Server

    I have a need to release a program (made in C++ Builder) that utilizes InterBase. However, I need the server embedded within the app. I've been using FairCom's c-Tree, which is a snap to embed, so I guess I'm just rusty. I could have sworn all it took was a dll, but I can't find ANY resources...

    I need MORE InterBase / BCB everything! I was seriously considering using InterBase as an embedded server within my application, but I can't find really any example source, any real [using InterBase with BCB] documentation, any how-to's or essentially anything of that nature.

    I'm updating a DB system for a company that's currently using Paradox as their DBMS. I was hoping to get some feedback on my decision regarding what system to use. * First off, I'm using Borland C++ Builder to create the GUI and display the recs, etc * We're talking about tens of thousands of...

    Building a menu (like MS Word or BCB)

    I've been using BCB for a long time and I've never truly understood how to make one of those menus that compare to to MS Word (or the BCB view), with the File, Edit, etc... at the top and then the colorful buttons w/ glyphs etc, each grouped in their own little menu chunks that can be...

    Double to get decimal places

    God this is embarassing... But if you check my posting time, you'll understand. Here's the exact code: double secondBreakdown = WorldTimeTrackbar->Position / 4; The position of the trackbar can be anywhere between 1 and 60, progressing by 1 each time. So it should be spitting me back decimal...

    Image cannot be brought to the top; stays underneath other components

    I need my images to be able to be brought on top of all other components. And I can't have the other components as owners of these images.

    My images are falling underneath other components (i.e. create a TShape and then a TImage, the image is underneath. And this is a big problem for me. For my life I can't figure out how to pair two components together. (I was going to pair some code to a custom TImage so it wouldn't fall...
