Problem while creating alias names
I'm Working with Delphi 5 and MSSQL 7. and using around 50 databases.. so i have to create aliases for each databases..now l can't create more aliases, while creating the alias thru alias manager this error occurs " Unable to write to configuration file" i think it is a config. settings problem. How can i create more aliases?

Hi Sumeesh,
When you say 50 databases, do you mean 50 databases or 50 tables?
Here's the code I use to create a BDE alias to a MS-SQL Server 2000 database:
var
Params: TStringList;
begin
Params := TStringList.Create;
try
Params.Add('USER NAME=SA');
Params.Add('SERVER NAME=MSSQL2KSVR');
Params.Add('DATABASE NAME=NEW17LOCAL');
Session.AddAlias('TESTMSSQ
Session.SaveConfigFile;
finally
Params.Free;
end;
end;
If you're still getting configuration file errors, then you have a corrupt BDE. Try reinstalling the BDE off the Delphi CD.
Hope this helps,
Stu

Why don't you use TDatabase component?

sumeesh,
Can I ask why nestorua got the points for this question when he provided no answer? I provided working code as to how to create an alias within Delphi and you didn't even give me the courtesy of providing a reason why my code was useless too you. I have no problems with other people getting points for something, but not when their post was a question, and especially when I provided a working answer!
Kindly explain...
