So atlast I figured out (I mean the folk here in the forums figured it out) that I needed to get a dynamic connection string and relative paths. It worked ok. It built and executed without any complaints on my pc. I got the installation module built with no errors. It appeared to install ok on another equivalent PC. But when I tried to fire up my application I get a Microsoft crash message. I just cannot figure it out what else can be going wrong here. I got a ADOConnection object with the connection string being built on the fly. A ADOTable object that connects to the connection object on the fly. A Datasource object which either references my ADOTable or is referenced by my ADOQuery objects. A bunch of Data aware components which connect using the ADOConnection object and the Datasource object. I do all the referencing and plugging in of these components dynamically. Builds and executes ok but when i install on another pc it crashes ! Main complication having to access some TBlobField in the database. I had a brain wave and did typecasting of a TField to TBlobfield. It worked within the IDE. I wonder if that is infact causing the mishap in the install build? Although why should it I cannot fathom.
