- About 'Animals of the World'
- ----------------------------
- Users of dBASE for Windows may recognize this simple application,
- which has been ported to Delphi.
-
- The main topic of the application is to demonstrate the ease of
- connectivity to a dBASE .DBF file. The application also shows the
- following:
- * How to display dBASE BMP fields in a Delphi DBImage component
- * How to configure a DBNavigator component to eliminate any
- unwanted buttons (in this example, all update functionality
- has been removed so the user can't add, delete, edit, or post.)
-
- The application uses the ANIMALS.DBF file located in the sample databse
- directory and accessed through a Borland Database Engine alias named
- DBDEMOS which points to the location of the sample database (normally
- \DELPHI\DEMOS\DATABASE).
-
- Troubleshooting:
- When compiling the application, if you get an error indicating a problem
- connecting to the database table, check the following:
- 1. Open the project.
- 2. Select the Table1 component.
- 3. Select the DatabaseName property.
- 4. Make sure the value of this property is either a path specification
- pointing to the directory where the ANIMALS.DBF file resides, or
- an alias pointing to this same directory.
- 5. Set the Active property of Table1 to True
