. SchoolReg is the name for a Database I created for the project which contains a register of all the pupils enrolled at Prebbleton School since 1870 – part of our Prebbleton Heritage effort. Within SchoolReg ( as a folder ) is School_Roll.adt as the table holding the data. I have a trial application written in Delphi to recreate an earlier successful application using Borland Database Engine and Paradox table structure. Now BDE & Paradox are not supported and have become corrupt so I am attempting to replace their functionality with Advantage Database Server. I have made a simple Delphi Form and place on it a component from the ADS sub-library. This component named ADSTable1 has a parameter list and it is there that I have entered the Database name ( SchoolReg ) and the Tablename ( School_Roll.adt When I attempt to enter the active property to True for this AdsTable1 I get the error message 5004 as previously described. It appears the system has incorrectly registered the Database name and the sub-folder Tablename against the pathname C:\Program Files(x86)\Embarcadero\RadStudio\12.0\bin .
Embarcadero and Rad Studio are the newer names for Borland and Delphi respectively.
I can’t find where or how this C:\ .. pathname has replaced the correct one of E:\Datasets\HeritageADS\ SchoolReg\School_Roll.adt
- I hope this detail enables you to sort out my problem J
