Parameters of ALIAS: Application name: BDE-SQL_LINK DATA BASE NAME: MASTER SERVER NAME: TTCRISTIAN (Local Server) HOST NAME: MASTER (It's the same of "DATA BASE NAME" above. Is it correty?) I'm using: Delphi 7 and SQL Server 8 Evaluation. The Message error is: Cannot locate or connect to SQL server.

Parameters of ALIAS: I'm using: Delphi 7 and SQL Server 8 Evaluation. The BDE is not the best way to access MS SQL Server, especially for any version from MSSQL 7 on - MS no longer supports the DBLib library which the BDE depends on. Use ADO or dbExpress components. -- Wayne Niddery - Logic Fundamentals, Inc.

I have a system in Delphi 5 that work with BDE and in Delphi 7 with dbExpress. The problem is my customer, want to work with sql server using the old version. I don't agree with them but they are payying for it. Unhappyly, I have to use BDE.
