Hi
Why is it, when giving an example of how to
useAssignPrn procedure, Borland never uses CloseFile but always
System.CloseFile ? I could not find any other CloseFile anywhere apart in system
unit. This seems to be in all versions of Delphi.

Hi Wilfred, long time no see.
When I was young, in the mists of time (and about when you were conceived), there was
a battle between hierarchical databases, network databases and relational databases.
They each had very significant advantages and very significant disadvantages.

Hi delphians:
About my previous question:
I'm trying to execute a BatchMove from a query to a table and I get a
"Table is busy" error respecting the destination table of the BatchMove.
What could be happening? I don't know where to look for an error.

Hi Juan.
Here is what I do for a shareware nag. Your mainform needs to be opened, but
you can have it hidden until the window of interest is, as would be in your
case, timed out.
Dont worry about complete blocks, I have cut out some registration code, so
there might be an incorrect balance of

I suspect that during their initial development, they used the old Turbo
Pascal syntax - Close. As this is not a unique procedure name, they got into
the (good) habit of prefixing it with the unit name.
The procedure was renamed to CloseFile to make it clearer what it did (just
as Assign was
Nope, they are non-voting shares.

Not necessarily a bad thing. It may be easier to sell a Delphi solution to
some clients now that you can say "its a Microsoft company" :-)

Were you able to open the table exclusively and is it open in the design

Width := MyJPEG.Width;

Why do you draw to a Bitmap and then draw the bitmap to the form.
Can't you just draw the JPEG direct to the form since in
If you edit the project's DPR file thus, frmSplash will appear while the
application is creating the other forms. You will need to Close and Free
frmSplash (and set it to nil) at the end of your main form's FormShow
method.

frmSplash := TfrmSplash.Create(Application);
Good question - case of me learning more every day. Thanks for bring that to
my attention.

Just an observation. If you force an exception for testing, you will
find that VCL does not like this construct. You will get 2 to 5 more
exceptions of nasty sorts. :-)

Chris,
Did that produce any workable results ? I have seen other apps use
the environment variables to figure it out.

John,
I believe that this does not function under NT, but dont quote me on
it. What I do know is that they have stuffed up environment handling
and errorlevel handling. Probably deliberately to kill dos apps.

Cause one way to store the day is to record how long it has been since a
certain day. In 2047 the 32 bit number is going to be to big to record but
hopefully by then they will be able to use 64 bit and go on for millions of
years to come. This is the way linux stores the date and is why it

string for the form.
Eg: if the form's name is MyDelphiForm, then the class should be
