If you use a TDatabase you will only use 1 connection "Sean Cross" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 04/02/99 16:20:33 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list delphi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: Peter Jones/Logistics&Information Technology/Christchurch/Foodstuffs) Subject: [DUG]: Anyone using SQL 7 yet. I have a trial version of SQL 7 which I am trying to connect to my existing app via odbc. 1st problem is that the trial version only seems to allow 1 connection. as delphi uses multiple connections this causes a few problems. 2nd problem (may be related to the first) is that my test app (3 tables, 3 datasources, 3 grids, 3 lines of code) crashes without running when compiled under d3 or d4. My real app tends to disappear without trace about 10 seconds into execution. any ideas?
