<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I'm running D7 on W7 and goes well, however…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This (old) app uses a Paradox dbase which I stored at C:\
Program Files (x86)\PDS\KCM\Tables, all works fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, I discovered that:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- the IDE uses the dbase located at C:\ Program Files
(x86)\PDS\KCM\Tables<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- the EXE uses the dbase located at C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files (x86)\PDS\KCM\Tables<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note
1: the
TDatabase is assigned to the IDE's location.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note
2: Making
changes to the dbase by means of running the EXE or the IDE alters only one or
the other dbase's tables.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Can
anybody explain this behaviour - that the IDE points to another location then
the EXE?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2.
Originally I copied the dbase at the time ONLY to the IDE's location. How did
the dbase get to the Users\... location?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. When I
remove the tables from the IDE's location (by means of renaming the directory)
and then run the EXE it can't find the tables, this while it uses the other
dbase tables. How can that be?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>4. Setting
the TDatabase's settings to C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files (x86)\PDS\KCM\Tables results in an error due to using a path to the
tables being too long.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any help<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p>
