Hello, I wrote a program which creates some DBF tables and the users will open them with Excel. However, the BDE by default creates them at level 7 that Excel cannot read. How can I change the level of BDE to 4 programatically? Many thanks for any answear.

You only need programmatically if you need to change it for all your client's computers. If you need that, there may be a BDE API that does the same thing.

Use the TTable.TableLevel property. I assume you are trying to set the level of a table you are going to create. -- Bill (TeamB) (TeamB cannot respond to questions received via email) Back to top Johan Guest Posted: Wed May 26, 2004 12:24 pm    Post subject: Re: How to programatically set the level of DBF table to 4? I have tried with setting TableLevel:= 4, but Excel cannot read the file. If I go to BDE Administrator, then ConfigurationNativeDBase, and set the level to 4, then Excel can read the created file. Because I deploy my program to the persons who need to use the created files in Excel, I cannot ask the users set the level manually. I would be grateful if you could show me how to solve this problem.

If you want to change the Level in BDE Administrator programatically you will have to use the BDE API function DbiOpenCfgInfoList.

Thank you very much, Bill. I used example 2: Set a particular value in the IDAPI.CFG configuration file (16-Bit Only) and (32-Bit, BDE v4.51 and later): Procedure SetConfigParameter(Param: string; Value: string); Then applied to set the level of dBase files to 4 with the following parameters: SetConfigParameter('DRIVERSDBASETABLE CREATE;LEVEL','4'); However, it didn't work. When I open the BDE Administrator, the level is still the same (7). To run the above procedure, I had to add to the uses clause the following units: DBTables, BDE, DB. The procedure ran without any errors. I am using Delphi 7 with BDE Administrator ver. 5.01. I don't know what was wrong with me. Thank you very much if you still consider this problem.
