"Stefano Monterisi" | Hi, Tim and all Dbisam community,
I need to write to a DBISAM 4.xx database (developed on a PC with delphi 7 e Dbisam 4) from an (old) application that is written in Delphi 6 ed use Dbisam 3.xx. How I can? Can coesists in Delphi 6 Ide DBIsam 3 and DbIsam 4 together? Can I open databases with both releases? I must open and append records in a Dbisam 4 table that is part of another application, copied from tables in Dbisam 3 format. (it's important for me at this time)..... Thanks in advance, Stefano Monterisi |

How I can? >> The only way to so this is to write a DLL that uses DBISAM 4, and set up exported functions in the DLL that the 3.x application can call to perform the required actions on the DBISAM 4 table(s). << Can coesists in Delphi 6 Ide DBIsam 3 and DbIsam 4 together? >> Not at the same exact time - only one of the design-time packages can be active at one time. However, they both can be installed. Also, you must make sure that your search paths are straight when compiling or you will run into issues with the application compiling with the wrong version of DBISAM. << Can I open databases with both releases? >> No. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

"Stefano Monterisi" | Ok, Tim,
Thank you; I can write a DLL that can use parametric Sql expressions with Dbisam 4. Good job, Stefano Monterisi |

Hmmm.... what about using ODBC/BDE to access the DBISAM 4 db? Yes, it sounds sick, but it should work. Ralf |
