OK. You have a product that is supplied by Borland but the official line is
that the product is not supported by them. That's not a good start. (BTW for
Kerry I would expect to get the same official response when I ring the 0800
number - if indeed the staff there have any idea what I am talking about to
begin with).
They use the product themselves in Paradox (up to V7) so you would think there
is some documentation on it. Somewhere. But not on Borland's searcheable site.
They give you references to downloadable stuff which is just the interface -
the closest you get to finding out about any error is the method signature of a
function called 'GetErrorString'.
OK. Exhausted all official Borland support.
Post to borland newsgroup. No reply.
Search Href. Nothing there.
Search the Internet using Altavista. Nothing there.
Talk to the highly recommended company that supplies the VCL components. No
result. (I have no beef with them - I'm sure they are as much in the dark as I
am)
Of course I already posted here some months ago. That time I didn't get a
reply. Which leads me to assume no-one in NZ knows what this thing means.
Thankyou for the reference to another search engine, but how would I know to
look there to begin with? Why is the information not on Borland's site, if it
is genuine?
In a way I guess this is a wider beef for those obscure and difficult to
decipher BDE error messages like "Not exact read/write" and "Capability not
supported" that are so hard to get information about from Borland.
For you guys from Inprise, all the support options on your website point to
Borland US or the 0800 number. I don't have faith in either (See above)
