I am using TClientDataSet in a BCB6 application I need to be a standalone application. The application accesses the BDE and ADO database components and uses a TClientDataSet in order to create an in-memory dataset from ascii files.

Here's how we check if Midas is installed: auto_ptr<TRegistry> registry ( new TRegistry ) ; registry->RootKey = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ; registry->OpenKeyReadOnly("\CLSID\{9E8D2FA1-591C-11D0-BF52-0020AF32BD64}\InProcServer32" ) ; String midasDLL = registry->ReadString("") ; registry->CloseKey() ; if( midasDLL.IsEmpty() || !FileExists( midasDLL ) ) { if( ! midasDLL.IsEmpty() ) ShellExecute( Application->Handle, "open", "regsvr32.exe", "/s midas.dll", NULL, SW_HIDE ) ; // Extract the dll from the resource ... } HTH, Stephane "Edward Diener" <eddielee_no_spam_here (AT) tropicsoft (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Is it possible to create a standalone application using Midas and C++ Builder 6 ?
