Deploying DBX4 Appl.

[Serra]

D2007, IB2007

For Delphi 7, we just placed Crtl & MidasLib
on mainform Uses and place just 1 DLL ( dbexpint.dll )
in the application EXE folder.

What about in D-2007 ? same thing or different ?

Thank you.

Different. You can no longer add libraries to the uses clause. You must
deploy the DLLs.

Thank you Bill.
Can you please tell me which DLL s ?

MIDAS.DLL and the driver DLL for the database you are using. My
understanding is that you also have to deploy the dbx3 to dbx4 bridge
dll if you are using a dbx3 driver. I cannot recall the name of the dll
but you should be able to find it in the help or the propertiess of the
SQLConnection component.

Bill,
the unit MidasLib works like in dbx3, meaning no deployment mandatory

Right. Only the DBX DLLs are affected.

Summary, to deploy a dbx4 application
1- I should add MidasLib into my Main form uses
what about adding also CRTL into Uses ?

2- I should place just Borland.DataExpoler.Dbx.Dll
in my EXE folder

Correct ?
