If an index file is corrupt then a "techo" way of fixing the problem is:
1) delete the index file
2) run up the database administrator
3) re-index

The standard edit mask should do this but I've never figured it out. How
do I specify an edit mask for a $ value? If I use '###0.00' then the user
can enter '12 .45' (with space)
Please dont tell me to use a 3rd party control cause I cant.

Check the command line parameter passed to the application, OLE puts
something in there. I can't remember what it is offhand.

It's an Object Pascal compiler - not a Delphi compiler. So any VCL will
need to be ported.

I have an application which has a form I would like to bring up using
OLE Automation. I have got to the point where I have a OLE automation
object which does what I want - ie viewing the right form, but the main
form is popping up when I do the create.
What I want is a way not show the main form
I'll upload it to ftp.delphi.org.nz. It's called fpc-0_99_10_ELF.tar. I
beleive there is an RPM version tho. If you want non Linux versions you
can have a look inside the tar file for the web address.
Have a look in about 1/2 an hour.

Mark,
Download TUtility from Borland (Inprise, whatever) and run it against your
files. I would advise that you do a verify before fixing. I have found
that while this utility fixes the problem, it can cause records to be "lost"
from the database. It is best to restore from backups. This is
I've got it but haven't managed to install it as I cant get the network
going and the install is greater than 1 floppies worth!
The same version is also ported to Windows/DOS I beleive so you could try
it there. Also, the is a shareware/commercial product called Sybil (yuk)

The basic rule with this decison (I have found) is that if you don't write
it multiuser/client-server now, then it won't happen at all - not without a
rewrite anyway. Good C/S development requires time to learn and trying to

The new ISQLW (Query Anal) is horrible and they must
have used different programmers on this version. It would be nice if they
extended the SQL language to allow you to write your own functions you

Okay. I use MS Access a LOT as a client
Hi, I believe it is a bit different in win16 vs win32, but in win32 have a
look in the win api under GetEnvironmentStrings, GetEnvironmentVariable and
SetEnvironementVariable.
Not sure if there is an easier way.

Borland have a sample app with source that uses the TTUtility and I never
found a case where it hasn't fixed it. As someone else said you need the
correct TTutility.dll for the BDE version your user has. I have build it

Funny: I thought Paradox was famous for stability, Access for corruption -
which is why MS distribute the repair/compact as part of the jet engine.
Seriously: my experience is - that like any shared file database it will

Mark,
Paradox is famous for corrupt files. I have found over the years that it is
generally an index problem caused by users not shutting programs down
properly or Windows crashing etc. There are various things you can do to
minimise it but I haven't used Paradox since Delphi 2 so maybe others ca

Not real-life story, just
Access, like Paradox, *will* corrupt the data at some point because it's
fundamental operation is based on shared files. Single, or minimally
overlapping, Access databases are pretty stable in my experience but I've
always instituted a regular "backup-repair-compact" regime. I also know of
