Don't expect to be able to just simply change the back end db without major
rework of the front end, esp when switching to a real database. I've learnt
the hard way that this is a big mistake.

Dear Peter Jones,
Haven't you got any sense at all, can't you be a little bit more
constructive ?
Otherwise keep your big mouth shut!

P,
Thanks for that..
#1 - I have the 2 years MS-SQL wise.
#2 - Seems to be the go though..
A few more questions.
a) How many user licence does one get with IB included with D5Ent??
b) If IB was to run on NT4 WKS (Lets just say that is a requirement) can
someone tell me the max
M,
b) Why ask? The IB connections are via Sockets and this does not
effect the number of remote users, as they do not actually login to the
machine where
the IB server resides.
Just checking... Don't want to run into WKS related restrictions down
the road

G'Day All,
Once again this is an information finder / understanding request. These are
the params:
- I am not a grahics person
- I am looking to do some 3D drawing etc with texture mapping, animations
etc.
Which is the best path OpenGL or DirectX?? I am basically looking for some
components

5 user _development_
DirectX - 98, 95, Win2K ONLY. Will not work on NT4 (direct3d, atleast).
Supported by almost every card with a 3d processor, from the S3 Virge up
to the TNT2/GeForce256/Voodoo 3/G400 etc.
OpenGL - works on all of the above, drivers are usually only for higher
end cards (eg, Voodoo 2/3, TNT(2),
a port of OpenGL.h
?

1) Check the parameter passing convention. You are specifyinying
cdecl, many people use stdcall
2) Check the packing. Delphi defaults to 4 byte packing and can be
set to 1 byte packing and C/C++ (microsoft) defaults to 8 byte packing
There is actually a Delphi-OpenGL book available (Amazon has it):
"Delphi Developer's Guide to OpenGL" by Jon Q. Jacobs (ISBN: 1-55622-657-8)
This book also has a companion CD with all the translations done in Delphi
(I think).

Its been a while since ive done this stuff, but IMHO, OpenGL is still a
better API then DirectX, and there is a lot of 3rd party support for it. Go
DirectX if you want to get good integration with windows. Direct3D *is*
supported on NT4 but only up to DirectX 3.

Hi,
I'm using Delphi 5 and using the ListView control, now the OnChanging event
has a AllowChange Variable that when set to false is supposed to stop the
user from editing the caption, but it doesn't, it just ellipses the caption.
I'm running NT 4.0 SP6
Cheers
Jason
In D3 set ReadOnly true to stop users from changing captions.

Hi all.
Does anybody know of how I could implement a program to download a update
for itself, close, run it, and finally reopen?
Thanks.
