So I did, downloaded the manifest for the BDE, copy it to the BDE folder, restarted my computer as suggested and when I ran the program outside of the IDE it worked but only one time.<div><br></div><div>Charlie<br>--- On <b>Sat, 5/14/11, David O'Brien <i><Dave@iccs.co.nz></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: David O'Brien <Dave@iccs.co.nz><br>Subject: Re: [DUG] Delphi 2007 & Vista<br>To: "NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List" <delphi@delphi.org.nz><br>Date: Saturday, May 14, 2011, 9:26 PM<br><br><div id="yiv2077088851"><style><!--

My computer died and I borrowed my son's laptop which has Vista. I installed Delphi 2007 with the 3rd party controls, copied my program (.pas files) and recompiled my program. Actually I did this with two programs. The second one runs both within the IDE and outside the IDE. The first program will load the main form (outside of the IDE) but when I click a button to open another form which is data dependent the form doesn't show. Actually the application has exe's that are called in the onclick event of the buttons; for example order entry, inventory, customer add/edit, etc. I click the order entry button and task manager shows the exe is
running; however the form doesn't show on the laptop.</p><div><p class="yiv2077088851msonormal3">I sincerely appreciate any suggestions.</p></div><div><p class="yiv2077088851msonormal3">Charlie </p></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="yiv2077088851msonormal3"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"sans-serif";"> </span></p></div></div><p class="yiv2077088851msonormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;"><br>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----</p><div><p class="yiv2077088851msonormal">_______________________________________________<br>NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list<br>Post: <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:delphi@delphi.org.nz" target="_blank" href="/mc/compose?to=delphi@delphi.org.nz">delphi@delphi.org.nz</a><br>Admin: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi">http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi</a><br>Unsubscribe: send an email to <a rel="nofollow"
