Hello everyone
I am starting to see the light. Had to start rock bottom with a normal DBF file and just the Tdatasource & Tdbf control.
Populate the Tlookupcombo and the Tdbgrid correctly.
Interestingly, the TDBF has a file path where you set the path to the database.
I would like it to be in the folder wherever i copy the project to.
If i use the folder settings in the control, it goes looking for that dbf in that folder after compile.
So how do I set that path to be just the local folder that there is no issues when i copy the finished project somewhere else?
Regards,
Peter
Huh?
What's wrong with GetCurrentDir?
https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/rtl/sysutils/getcurrentdir.htmlNevermind just adding a SubFolder to it
MyDBF:=GetCurrentDir+'\MySubFolder';
EDIT: TApplication.Location might be an alternative.
