 |

Hi
Just want to know if when I deploy an Delphi 7 ADO application on a client's pc. Can I just copy the exe over or do I also have to install something of ADO. The db is naturally already installed.
Regards
Karen

That depends on the PCs OS:
Windows 2000 and XP already come with some version of ADO installed while
Windows NT does not. (I don't know about Windows 95/98/ME.)
If it isn't installed, you must install the Microsoft data access components
(MDAC_TYP.EXE) which can be downloaded from Microsoft.com. Even if it is
installed, you might want to get the latest version.
Also, depending on the database, you might need an OleDB provider, e.g. the
OleDB provider for Oracle if you want to access an Oracle server.

Most computers will have anything needed. But for some you need to install
MDAC. You also need OLEDB provider - it may be installed with db.

Assumptions:
1. The database system, such as MS SQL Server, is already installed on the
server where your database/tables will be.
2. MDAC 2.8 or later is installed on all systems using your application.
3. The client portion of the database server system is installed on all
client computers which will be using your application.
4. The user only has to attach your database with tables to the database
system, or will run a SQL script to build the required database and tables
needed to support your application.
If all above is true you will need to instll your application as you would
normally do using installshield, or equivalent, and then have the users, or
your code, configure the connectionstring so your application can connect to
the database/tables.

The others have answered well. The only thing you need to check is your
version of ADO for Delphi 7. Check to see if you are using 2.7 or 2.8. W2K
usually has 2.7. XP 2.8.

Hi, Karen.
I also work with D7 and ADO. Normally nothing is necessary, unless you
specify something unusual.
My advice for you is test the ap in another computer before you deploy it to
your client.
Regards.
