Which version should i use and how do i know that when i deploy my application that the client has the same version? I noticed that you can not import different versions for different projects because by default Delphi suggests the Imports directory, where i already have imported the library for another project. Should i keep seperate copies of my type libraries with each project, or should i always use the same (and perhaps latest) version? /Richard Back to top Jeremy Collins Guest Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 9:52 am    Post subject: Re: Importing the type library Brian Bushay TeamB wrote: Quote: Which version should i use and how do i know that when i deploy my application that the client has the same version?

You want to use the lowest version that you expect your users will have. Really? Why? I always use the latest version for development, and deployment on older versions has never been a problem. Most MDAC point releases are just bugfixes aren't they? -- jc Remove the -not from email Back to top Richard Bibby Guest Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2004 9:33 am    Post subject: Re: Importing the type library Hej, Thanks for the reply. If I took for example 2.5, can i make sure that the customer has that during installation? and delivery the correct dll if they do not? /Richard "Brian Bushay TeamB" <BBushay (AT) Nmpls (DOT) com> skrev i meddelandet news:lmjd30hp1mpltrtau3gqkmqori9k7cggqb (AT) 4ax (DOT) com...

You want to use the lowest version that you expect your users will have. The lowest version of Mdac that Borland's ADO components are compatible with is 2.1 -- Brian Bushay (TeamB) [email]Bbushay (AT) NMPLS (DOT) com[/email] Back to top Víctor Hugo Ulloa Melénde Guest Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2004 5:33 pm    Post subject: Re: Importing the type library Richard: Remember there are compatibility considerations: for example, to use XML when saving a recordset to a file, you must use MSDAC 2.6 at least. There are other areas of concern, too. So, you must be carefull selecting: A. The features you need. B. The version your clients will have installed.
