I have D6/WinXP on my Netbook and it is working fine. I guess it should be also OK for D7 as the requrement is similar.
Only concern is the screen is a bit small for doing actually work for a long period of time. Other thing is, the screen resolution may be different from your client. I use the utility from Asus to scroll the screen so that I can get a 1024 x 768 (or bigger) virtual screen on my netbook if needed. -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz]On Behalf Of delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz Sent: Monday, 14 March 2011 7:23 a.m. To: delphi@delphi.org.nz Subject: Delphi Digest, Vol 89, Issue 16 Send Delphi mailing list submissions to delphi@delphi.org.nz To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listserver.123.net.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz You can reach the person managing the list at delphi-ow...@delphi.org.nz When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Delphi digest..."

I'm heading off and will have only my netbook with me. As I was working on a Delphi 7 project I was wondering if I could get away with just the little Netbook (asus eeepc 1001) and not have to take the full laptop.

I had been wondering the way things were worded whether you could use 3rd party things like Zeos, or if databasing capabilities were limited strictly to only what was described in the feature matrix. (Remembering the Turbo thingies they put out that didn't even let you add components.) We are charitable non-commercial (take no payments) so I take it we would fit under the $USD1000 at all times?

If you follow the delpoy instructions (such as they are) then that may be one problem in not installing the deploy files (only a few of which surely are used for a simple app) in the correct ind searchable folders. Another and maybe more significant source of errors is the fact that D4PHP assumes you are going to have PHP 5 on the host, which may or may not be the case - check with phpinfo() This last one plus the poor documentation has put my D4PHP life on hold until the situation clears - aside to Embarcadero !! - can we have some better documentation and examples ? - please Best of luck Graham Marsden -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Having invested the time in it, I haven't reached the point where I can chuck it out and relearn something else. Bit by bit, I have already replaced most of D4P with straight php, html or javascript - mostly for efficiency. The only thing left now is the query and grid. And the panel does make it a lot easier than using html-table manually. Finally the debugger started working (its just temperamental), but I don't need it now.

This way, I know its not an issue. I had wondered about the php version, but not blaming that yet. Really the major issue is php itself - based on basic (arguably the first kiddy language invented over 30 years ago). I cant believe we are using it now !! Slight misspelling of an identifier and one is history with errors that have nothing to do with reality. I have had ajax stop working. Then query->open would not work but query->active = true would etc.... The issue of the oncreate firing multiple times turned out to be caching (probably by the php engine itself - nothing else makes sense) as I had cleared the browser cache. Once I fixed that with some html tags, the refresh from ajax has stopped working. It no longer refreshes the control as it used to - until the form is submitted. I am going to have one more go at ajax based data control refresh on another form. If that doesnt work, then I will convert all of the delphi stuff to php. The ide is still useful as a project manager. I finally discovered the _problem with constants_ in another file. if there is no vcl in the page (form) then the constants work. As soon as vcl is involved, they are no longer visible... I discovered the _problem with functions_ in another file. There must be no spaces between the identifier and the bracket. Then they work.

Is there a way that I can display a map with a selected address? Ideally, I would also like to be able to get the distance between two addresses. I assume that this information is available from Google or Wises, but have no idea how to go about accessing it. I?m guessing it will be a Web Service, with which I have limited experience (I have an interface to one). Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
