Posted: Sat May 05, 2007 2:16 am Post subject: Memo problems, Apollo VCL 6.1 - Delphi 2007, Anyone heard of |
|
|
I'm using Apollo tables (from Vista Software) to provide a data export
capability from my app. I've upgraded to the latest Apollo VCL (6.1) and am
using Delphi 2007. With this combination, I can no longer read memo data
from fox tables (or post blob data into memo fields set as tBlobField).
This version of Apollo VCL works for Delphi 6 & Delphi 2005. But does not
work for Delphi 2007. I've got tech support emails into Vista Software but
the company is not responding as fast as I'd hoped.
Has anyone heard of a problem like this with D2007 and Apollo or other
desktop database apps?
Thanks,
Mike Simmons

Can't help with Apollo, but if you are unable to get this resolved soon,
then I would suggest trying Advantage. It handles Fox tables and indexes
well, their local engine is free, and the server product is competitive.

Mike,
I received an email from the Vista Abyss and it mentioned they have a new
version that will work with D2007. Of course it will cost you 99.00.
Purchase anything Vista at your own risk. It also mentioned that Anthony was
going to work for M$ and will be handing Apollo over to Mike. Lets see if
this will help in any way.
Regards,
Scott.

Thanks Wayne.
There is a fair amount of existing code built around the existing Apollo
components. We may be forced to switch, but I would do that as a last
resort. I will take a look at Advantage in the meantime.

Mike Simmons

Hi Scott,
I had already spent the $99 on the D2007 version..... That is the version I
am having problems with. But there was not even a D2007 package in the
release. Just the D2006.
I sent Anthony a note indicating that the "Contact Us" page was getting a
404 error. I guess that is not by accident. Anthony was responsive in
sending me the necessary info to download the D2007 version, but it's been 3
days since reporting the problem and received no email even acknowleging the
issue.
I appreciate the warning on future Vista purchases. You are right. I had a
bad feeling about the health of the firm and you confirmed that. Long term
plans will be to find a different vendor/solution.
Regards,
Mike Simmons

Mike,
I am not certain if this is related to the issue you are having but
there is a QC report (44423) about blob fields being truncated at
approximately 1K in D2007 and another (43986) dealing with truncated
blobs.

Bill,
Thanks for pointing those out. There definitely seems to be a problem in the
blob area. (The fact that the code worked OK for D6 and 2005 but not D2007
seemed to indicate D2007 as the likely culprit.)
Regards,
Mike Simmons

Today Vista Software provided me with a patch to the apodset.pas file which
corrected my issues. It turns out that Delphi was not the problem.
