Connect to a MSSQL database

yup, ADO is the fastest way, moreover both ADO and MSSQL are Microsoft's technologies so they wor very nice together:)

Oki, that was what I tought. But I dont get in anny conflicts with the other database witch my be accessed by ODBC?
I have been locking for a site on the internet with some explenation on how too use ADO but I cant find anny good one, someone knows anny site?

nope there shouldn't be any conflicts with ODBC
for samples of ADO go to: \Program Files\Borland\BDS\4.0\Demos\DelphiWin32\VCLWin32\ADO

Yea it was an example there, but it was very complex.
Does sombody have a simple solution on how and get a list of the tabels and how too conect a ADOTable to a database.

You have to modify ConnectionString and TableName to your values

ziolko.

But how is it possible too make a list of the TableNames where the user my pick witch Table too show?

use ADOCOnnection.GetTableNames() display result for user when user selects table asign it's name to ADOTable.TableName and then set ADOTable.Active := True

I solved the last problem my self.

But I got a problem when I'm going into the database fore the first time. I get up that I have too write in the password and username. But it does not mather what i write, I get into the database no mater what I write.

This is the ConnectionString: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=HET;Data Source=OLE\BERE

thats because You selected "Use Windows NT Integrated Security"  and therfore in connection to DB security context of logged on user (logged on to computer) is used instead of login/password You specify.

You can either set ADOCOnnection.LoginPrompt := False to use logged on user or remove >>Integrated Security=SSPI;<< from Your connection string (same as uncheck "Use Windows NT Integrated Security")

It worked with ADOCOnnection.LoginPrompt := False, thanks.

This is how I alter a table:
if ADOTable1.Locate('ID',45,[loCaseInsensitive]) then
begin
  ADOTable1.Edit;
  ADOTable1.FieldByName('ID').AsInteger := 65;
  ADOTable1.Refresh;
end;

But how too do this so that nobody other get access to alter this while I'm doing the change. Besause if it is done the way my code is it is generated an error, but I need it so that the last one dont get too do the altering and just continues.

The error message is:
Row can not bi located for updating. Some values may been changed since it was last read.

try ADOTable1.Post instead ADOTable1.Refresh;

ziolko.

I have some more problems with ADO database connection, I would appreciate if you would take a look at this problem
