replaced BDE with dbExpress, but

[Rick Scheibl]

Hi,

I'm using D7. I've replaced the BDE controls with dbExpress throughout
the application (sounds so simple...). Is there a way to check the
finished .exe to confirm that the BDE isn't required? I don't have a
machine without the BDE.

I've removed the BDE units that I'm aware of:
bde, dbtables, dbiprocs

thanks,

Rick

(Temporarily) rename the BDE folder and see if your app still runs.

Thanks! I'll try this, although I was hoping for something absolute, as
I have many hundreds of forms, and am a bit afraid of something slipping
by me.

Well, you can use a PE viewer to ensure that the BDE DLLs aren't
statically linked, but that doesn't tell you if something tries to
dynamically load one of them. It's another good check, though.
