Error:"Database Engine Error: Table does not exist".

SOME of my users get this message after the deployed program has been installed on their computer. How can I keep them from getting this message?

I usually get this because the BDE cannot find the folder where all the tables are. So what I do is, after I install the application, I run BDEAdmin.exe and set up the database alias there.

Lately, since I'm a bit lazy and I hate looking for the BDEAdmin.exe file, I include the following line to my Inno Setup script (.iss file) under the [RUN] group:

Filename: "{pf}\Common Files\Borland\Bde\bd
eadmin.exe"

That way, after installing the dB Plus Runtime and BDE, I automatically enter the BDEAdmin program and set things up.

Hope this helps.
