Hi there,

I read about the above mentioned error in deja_news but I'm still stucked.

My Problem occurs when trying to access an MS-ACCESS-Database using the
BDE-Native driver. I read that they are problems when running WIN NT 4 SP4
but I have no choice. In deja_news I found something about a registry-entry
I could change but it didn't help in anyway. I just can't get the
TDatabase-Object to connect whitout the exception.

There must be a workaround other than using ODBC, or not ?

Any hint appreciated, thanks.

Pascal

Are you sure this exception is related to MS Access databases? I got the
exception too, but I was when I was programming a component with still a
couple of bugs in.

As for hints, I don't know any.

Regards,

Micha.

What BDE version are you using ?

Does the problem only occur when running the program from within the IDE ?

Make sure you are running BDE 5.01 or above. The Access driver threw a
lot of exceptions in early versions.

Hi Mark,

I first used BDE 5.01 but updated to BDE 5.10. Unfortunately to no avail...

What else can it be ?

Hi Kim,

Yes the problem remains the same, when I run the exe-file directly form the
explorer and I am now running BDE 5.10.

Any hint?

Sorry.....

I would have said the same thing as Mark.
I also use MS Access 97 with the native BDE driver (BDE 5.01) and I have no
problems at all.

Hi, Kim

Do you use NT 4 SP 4/5 ?

I have tested on NT4 SP4 without problems.

The registry entry fix worked for me. If it's happening in the Builder
IDE then the you may need to add "BCB.EXE" to the registry. If it's
happening outside the IDE then add the name of your own exe.

THe biggest hint I can give you is to suggest that you have your BDE
settings correct for the version of the database you are using. If you are
using an MS-Access95 MDB file, you should be using the DAO 3.0 files, and
if your MDB file is from Access97, then use DAO v3.5. If you use the
wrong version of the DAO, you will see a large number of issues such as
this with your database interface...

I have also seen that this happens if you do not provide a valid
user/password combination to a password protected MDB file...
