Reiner, The Topaz database modules were all based on the dbf system with three separate files, a linked list .dbf containing Titles and Headings that effectively controlled the saved data, .dbt containing the data items themselves, and .mdx a multiple indexing system. I originally wrote a small program for members of an on-line craft group to save hints and tips exchanged by email, but it developed into a larger project with one fairly complex database looking after the diet and feeding arrangements for a large number of animals in a zoo.
Now, I am thinking about using dbf again but am still getting to grips with the data saving options in Lazarus/Free Pascal. Progress so far (two days) has been limited to writing brief test programs, getting syntax correct etc. Now I am trying to resolve a portability problem. My compiled fP file runs immediately and perfectly on Puppy Linux but will not run on Kubuntu or Mepis. Both these systems are asking me to select a program to run the file. This may be a permissions issue, although all appears to be correct. Gordon. On 05/07/2014 08:29 PM, Reinier Olislagers wrote:
Just for interest: what database are you using currently?
