FoxPro
How can I open a FoxPro table through the FoxPro native drive in Delphi 4 ?
Andrew
Andrew
Yes, any problems?
ASKER
It seems that I cannot use the native driver named "FoxPro" !

Didn't experienced such kind of problem.
Add a alias using "Stardard" driver, then in the alias's 'Default driver', select Foxpro. Select the correct path, then every thing is OK.

Do you mean that I can only configure it in Delphi !

Andrew
What do you mean?
To access databases, you must have an alias defined. You can do it in BDE Administrator/DBExplorer.

I know, but, where can I find 'Default driver' ?

I haven't used D4 Prof., but I think the BDE setup
should be the same:
In BDE administrator, select the menu Object-New..,
then select Standard, right?
So there will be a new alias in the left tree, usually named STANDARD1, right?
Select the STANDARD1, and see the right side of the windows, there will be 4 rows, as are 'Type', 'Default driver',
'Enable BCD' and 'PATH'. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Select the 'Default driver', it is a ComboBox, drop it down and you can see foxpro there. If you can't that means D4 professional does not come along with FoxPro.
