Building data into an exe
|
|
| Andrew R 2005-06-24, 11:25 am |
| I have a project that takes data from one source and then just uses the data
to produce information, reports etc.
Occasionaly the data changes - when it does it will be a complete re-load of
the data.
I want to be able to distribute this by sending one EXE - the EXE will
contain the DBC, tables and indexes by including them in the build.
I have tried this but the running executable does not seem to be able to
"see" the database and its tables. How do you accomplish this?

Hi Andrew,
That approach works for me. Which error do you get?

| It couldn't open the tables. Seemed to open the DBC. Maybe it's a path
thing. Any clues?

If you don't give as a concrete error message and number, we can only
guess:
A dbc with the same name but not the same dbfs on hard disk drive?
Would using the dbfs with the NOUPDATE clause help, maybe
SET EXCLUSIVE OFF? Do you get the same behaviour at your
development computer? If not and everything works fine there,
what does DBF() tell you about the path of the DBFs you open?
Do you try to write to the DBFs?
???
Bye, Olaf.

| Thanks for your help. I have found my error.
I had included the DBC in the build. However, what I had not realised is
that each table in the DBC also has to be included. All is now working as I
had hoped.
