C, Yeah. When I read network I was thinking more in terms of a WAN where nodes may only be connected by 56K modems. Obviously sitting on a 10/100mbit network will get the file copied with no problems using SMB. Try that between some modems using SMB and you have the start to ending up in a mental

Naina, You could use ZLIB compression classes (on the Delphi CD) to compress the data first then use sockets to split the data into smaller chunks (because you may get a network error if you try sending all of it together. In that case you will have to start all over again!) and attach sm

Thanks Steve I don't have a problem with SQL databases - I've sorted out dates there and it also is controllable on a server. My problem is on TClientDataset where the local user can put any format they like in (eg mm-ddd-yy) and stuff up the data handling in the Dataset.Filter property. The De

RE: [DUG]: Using Dates in ClientDataset Filters

2001-07-04 Thread Steve Aish
That depends on your database. Using Interbase I would not use the filter option. I would use a TQuery as the Client dataset and use a parameter. e.g. Query1.SQL.Add('SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE TARGETDATE = :TARGETDATE'); Query1.Params[0].asDateTime := TargetDateVariable; Where TargetDate

[DUG]: Using Dates in ClientDataset Filters

2001-07-04 Thread Stephen Bertram
What is a method of specifying a date in a filter string for a ClientDataset that is independent of the local ShortDateFormat ? Obviously 'DateField = ''' + DateToStr(TargetDate) + does not work. Nor does 'DateField = ' + FloatToStr(TargetDate). Is there a date format that can be used saf

Is it just to another file system eg Unix/As400 or another Win32 machine? I don't regard 40MB as very big these days - unless you are going across a Modem/Slow connection. Some options are: 1. FTP 2. Shell API functions. 3. TCP/IP Sockets (at the end of the day options 1 & 2 use this). Myles.
