Hi Eric, I am using Delphi 7 Enterprise with MS SQL 2005
Have a nice day Regards Leigh www.smootharm.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eric A Sent: Friday, 22 August 2008 10:38 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Delphi ADO Components with MS SQL 2005 I'd like to use Delphi 7 (Delphi 2007 second choice) with SQL Server 2005. Initially this will be just for development using the version installed with Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I've previously used the Delphi ADO connection objects etc very successfully with MS SQL 2000 but I can't see the 2005 SQL server (on the local machine) when I try to set up the connection string in Delphi 7. I can see the SQL Server 2005 instance OK from Visual Studio so it would appear to be something to do with the Delphi ADO components not being compatible (or something that I'm missing) Questions: 1) Can one use the Delphi ADO components in both D7 and D2007 with MS SQL 2005 instead of MS SQL 2000? 2) Is my issue something to do with the nature of the SQL Server 2005 install done by Visual Studio 2005? 3) Alternatively is there a workaround using some kind advanced parameter in the connection string?
