Actually, I don't remember how I did it in BCB6, either. I'm trying to add Codebase library c4lib.lib to my project (statically linked). Here's the code (simple test app): #include <vcl.h> #pragma hdrstop #include "MainFrm.h" #include "d4all.hpp" // CodeBase //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #pragma package(smart_init) #pragma link "JvButtons" #pragma link "JvExButtons" #pragma resource "*.dfm" TForm1 *Form1; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- __fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner) { } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- void __fastcall TForm1::JvHTButton1Click(TObject *Sender) { Code4 t_codeBase; // access violation right here Data4 t_data_age; String t_file = "AGE.DBF"; t_data_age.open(t_codeBase, t_file.c_str()); try { if (t_data_age.isValid()) { MessageDlg("Age.dbf is open", mtInformation, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0); } } __finally { t_data_age.close(); t_codeBase.initUndo(); } } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Library search path contains: $(BDS)\..\..\codebase\lib\sa\borb5 $(BDS)\lib\debug plus inherited values from lower level settings I *think* the problem has to do with adding the lib to my project. Help! Thanks, Kathleen Back to top Remy Lebeau (TeamB) Guest Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: How do I add a lib to project in BDS2006?

Actually, I don't remember how I did it in BCB6, either. Use the "Add to Project" menu item, or use the Project Manager. Gambit Remy, When I do this in BCB6, my test app compiles, links and runs, and a button click event opens and closes a DBF file using Codebase. When I do this in BDS2006, a page opens in the IDE displaying the lib as text. The project compiles, links and runs, but the button click raises an exception on the first line that references a Codebase object. Does the Codebase lib have to be created specifically for BDS2006?

Here's the code (simple test app): #pragma comment(lib,"c4lib.lib") Thanks, vavan, but still no joy. As I mentioned to Gambit, adding the Codebase library to my project let me build and run, but the application throws an access violation on the first line of code that references an object in the Codebase library. Building this same app in BCB6 builds and runs without error. So am I missing something fundamental here, such as "You can't use the Codebase library that works with BCB5 and BCB6 with BDS2006"? Note that this is just the library of functions; it is not the Codebase components. Thanks for your help.

Yes. It's a third party library, and the vendor does not post a BDS2006 version. The version I have been using with BCB6 was prepared for BCB5. It works fine.

(Please tell me if that interpretation is wrong!) Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, Quote: it for bcb2006. beware of alignment and enum sizes Okay, so if I'm reading your message correctly, then I'm out of luck Not with regard to those switches. You can check in Project Options for those (compare your BCB6 to BDS2006). But I'd recommend showing the command line: In BDS2006 turn ON Tools | Options | Environment Options | Show Comnmand line. In BCB6, add this reg entry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\C++Builder\6.0\Compiling] "ShowCommandLine"="True" Then compare all the switches. (you can copy the lines into notepad.exe to make that easier). Something else might pop out but especially check -b (enum size), -a (alignment) and -k (standard stack frames). BTW, I have used .OBJ's from earlier versions successfully when it was simple C style functions. --Craig Back to top Antonio Felix Guest Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 3:23 am    Post subject: Re: How do I add a lib to project in BDS2006?

Kathleen, It's been a long time since my last use of Codebase (version 4 at that time), but AFAIR it ships with source code that let's you rebuild the lib. Check Sequiter's web site for more info Meanwhile i've cheked the site and they refer C++Builder 2006 support.

Craig, Antonio, vavan: Thank you all for helping me. Unfortunately, nothing I tried (and I tried everything you all suggested) has changed my outcome. I'm going to post new questions on another thread (because this one suffers from old age). BTW, I have BCB6 installed on two computers (two licenses). The one at work includes the reg entry Craig mentioned: Quote: In BCB6, add this reg entry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\C++Builder\6.0\Compiling] "ShowCommandLine"="True" However, my laptop at home does not have a Compiling folder down the C++Builder\6.0 path, and there is no mention of "ShowCommandLine" anywhere in my registry. I mention this mostly to say that it is the little things that are making me absolutely insane. Anyway, thank you again for the help... even if I am not yet solving my specific problem, I'm learning things I didn't know.

HTH Antonio Antonio, Can you provide a link to the page where you saw this? I looked here: http://www.codebase.com/products/windows/ and all I see under "Compilers Supported" is C++ Builder (no version number). (I'll have my boss call Sequiter this week to find out if they have a BDS2006 version available; our license limits who among us is permitted to annoy the support staff at Sequiter.)

We're not using the components, just the library of functions, but this may make the difference. Thank you, Antonio.
