I have an app created with D5 and is running great on the XP computer I
am using as I type. But when I set it up on another computer also
running XP I get the MS message box telling me I have experienced a
problem and has to close, send error report....

I have compared the configurations on both computers. The locations for
the executable, data, bde are the same.. The BDE config is the same for
both, but I am missing something.

Does anybody have any idea where I might look.

Are you going to tell us *exactly* what the message box said?

Sorry, I assumed that this was a common message box, but I guess I was

wrong. So here goes.

"My app has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience.

If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working
on might be lost.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat
this report as confidential and anonymous.

To see what data this error report contains, click here."

The previous is followed by two buttons labeled "Send Error Report" and
"Don't Send".

I know there is a major problem on this particular computer. There
should not be any reason why it should run one computer and not on the
other, when both are running the same OS. The only thing I can think of
is some configuration/setting that may be different between the two
computers.

I assume that
(1) "My app" may be the name of your application.
(2) My app did not catch an exception, but rather
that the OS did.

But I notice that your post is posted in the forum
borland.public.delphi.database.desktop

I think that you will get better response if you post
in maybe the forum
borland.public.delphi.language.delphi.win32

Most likely there is a missing, or incomaptible version of, a DLL the
application needs.

Wayne,


I copied all of the BPL files from the computer that works to the one
that does not. Still giving me the same error box.

I sent the report this error box generates to MS and I will try and get
someone there to maybe take a look at it. There has to be something in
the OS configuration that does not like my app. Finding that something
is going to take a lot more skill than I have.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Dick

I have recently run into a problem like this where a couple of my apps did not
run on new XP configured PCs
I found a couple sources of problems.

The first was some type of conflict between BDE and ADO that could be resolved
if the units for BDE (dbTables) appeared in the Uses clause of the first unit
to load them before ADO (ADODB)

The second source of problems I found was using some JVCL controls

The third source was the unit DBClientActns
