How can I force the changes to appear right away?

Pain in the ass, but it works, and the datamodule is small, so it doesn't have to do too much work. -- Will Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:02 am    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox That is not the right solution. Is this a multi-user application? If so, make sure that the BDE on every PC is configured exactly as described in http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,15247,00.html -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Will Guest Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2005 6:09 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote Quote: That is not the right solution.

What did not show up where? We need a much more detail (possibly step by step) description of what you are doing before we can help you. Are you saying that you make a change to a record in Database Desktop and do not see the change in your application? If so, is your app using a TTable or a TQuery to view the data? -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Dell Stinnett Guest Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2005 9:34 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox It won't automatically show up in DB Desktop until you do a Refresh. Two ways to make sure that the data is posted immediately and not cached: 1. As mentioned, in the BDE set LocalShare to True. -or- 2. Include dbiProcs in your uses clause and in the "AfterPost" event put a call to dbiSaveChanges: dbiSaveChanges(table.handle); Even implementing one of these, you will still have to refresh the table in DB Desktop in order to see the changes. -Dell Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2005 10:56 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox dbiProcs is from Delphi 1. All the BDE functions were moved to the BDE unit starting in Delphi 2. The old unit names are aliased so they still work. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Will Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 12:03 am    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote Quote: What do you mean by "didn't show up"?

If so, is your app using a TTable or a TQuery to view the data? -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Sorry, I'll give more detail. Form contains a TDBEdit control. TDBEdit control is connected to a datasource, connected to a TTable on a TDatamodule. TDBEdit is only for viewing data, not modifying. Value displayed by TDBEdit is modified elsewhere, and then updated via a TQuery component, which is on the same datamodule as the TTable. ExecSQL is called on the TQuery, and the table is Refreshed. The change was not reflected in the TDBEdit. TTable is opened and closed, and the TDBEdit does not reflect the change The form is opened and closed, and the TDBEdit does not reflect the change. The datamodule is freed, and recreated, and the change IS reflected in the TDBEdit control I cannot view the table in Database Desktop, because I get a ".Net directory is controlled by another file" error while the application is running. Though if I shut the app down, and then view it, the change does appear. I made the change to the BDE Init that Bill suggested. Since the app is still under development, the app is not on a network, but local only. -- Will Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 1:31 am    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox If the app is still under development I strongly suggest that you not use the BDE. If you are going to use the BDE and Paradox tables do you use SQL to update records. I have not see the behavior you describe but I have heard of it happening. If you must do the update with SQL try running the update statement in a second BDE session. This will cause the BDE to effectively see the TTable and the TQuery as two different users and should solve your problem. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Will Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 5:04 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote Quote: If the app is still under development I strongly suggest that you not use the BDE.

So, to get a scond session, I would need to use the TSession class, and attach the TQuery & TTable to it, but otherwise everything else would stay the same, correct? -- Will Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 6:32 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox No, you cannot use Paradox tables without the BDE. Add a TSession to the app but only connect the TQuery to the new session. Leave the TTable in the default session. IIRC this will solve your problem. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) TeamB cannot answer questions received via email Back to top Dell Stinnett Guest Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2005 8:14 pm    Post subject: Re: Updating Data in Paradox Well, you can tell where I started with Delphi! <grin!> Actually, it's been several years since I've worked with Paradox and BDE, but I was remembering what I had to do to get it to get it to work....Thanks!! -Dell Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Databases (Desktop) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
