When I try to run either the Elevate Trial demos (e.g. createdbddldemo) or an own application I'm always met by error #409. I have set the
configuration path in the TEDBEngine component to a valid value, no change; I have copied in an EDBConfig.EDBCfg file into the folder pointed at,
no change. I have gone through properties on all the components in use, in order to find something wrong. I have read the manual. I have looked
through this newsgroup. No solution!  Now I'm running out of ides! Help!

First question - can you access your database via EDBManager?

You shouldn't need to do anything with the configuration file for the demos
if you run the CreateDBDDLDemo application first.

No, for the simple reason that both my own application and the demo application are the ones that should create a database!

BUT, today I managed to create and run the tutorial application described in the ElevateDB manual. No problems whatsoever!
But CreateDBDDL and my own application still don't run.

Yes, that is what I have understood from the manual too, problem is that it is CreateDBDDL that gives the "config path empty" error and refuses
to run.

Jan-Christian,

Okay, I'll give it a try and let you know what I find out.  Running them
with D7 works fine here, which is the baseline test that we do for the
demos.

No, I'm also not seeing any issues here running the demos with Delphi 2007.
Can you trace the CreateDBDDLDemo project and see what is happening in this
code in the DemoFormBase.pas unit ?

procedure TfrmDemoBase.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
 FConfigPath := GetSampleDataPath;

 Engine.ConfigPath := FConfigPath;  //   Right here is where the ConfigPath
is being assigned
 Engine.TempTablesPath := FConfigPath;
end;

Tim, thanks for your efforts to help me!

Here is a trace of functions/procedures called when starting createdbddl:
(Note: The application folder is at P:\Elevate\Demos\createdbddl, the E: is the system drive)

Form                   Function/Procedure      Comment  
------------------    ----------------------      ---------------------------------------------------------------
DemoFormBase   GetSampleDataPath     result = P:\Elevate\Demos\Data
                                                          (AppPath = P:\Elevate\Demos\createdbddl

DemoFormBase   FormCreate                (FConfigPath = P:\Elevate\Demos\Data

Main form           FormShow

DemoFormBase   FormShow                  call to CreateDataFolder('P:\Elevate\Demos\createdbdll\')

DemoFormBase   CreateDataFolder

DemoFormBase   FormShow                  call Browser.Navigate.... (No result noted!)

Main form           SampleDataBaseExist  ----open

Main form           EngineBeforeStart

          Error #409
                     
The ../Data folder has been created but is empty.
No *.edbcfg files created anywhere

Note: This test was done on a fresh copy of "Demos". No properties on the forms were modified.

Thanks for the trace.  However, I'm still not seeing anything here - it
works fine.  I even cleared the ConfigPath before starting the
CreateDBDDLDemo application, and it works fine.

What is the Engine.ConfigPath set to in the EngineBeforeStart event handler
?

Answer:
In EngineBeforeStart eventhandler Engine.ConfigPath = 'P:\Elevate\Demos\Data'

PS.
At an earlier stage I noted that I had a number of freshly created *.EDBcfg etc files in a Delphi7 folder. I have both -2007 and my old -7 installed
on the system but I have not touched -7 in any way since I installed ElevateDB on -2007. Quite a mystery how the *.EDBcfg files ended up under -
7. Could the simultaneous presense of these two Delphis have any bearing on the current problem with the empty path??
Anyway, no config files seem to be created anywhere now!
