Hi all,

DBISAM v4, Delphi 6 and I use the Session and Database VCL

I have button which opens a REPORT form that I run my reports on. Code
behind the button is

frmMyReports := TfrmMyReports.Create(Application);

Now if a table (needed for one of my reports) is missing from the data
directory I get an Engine Error message (#11010) BEFORE any of the
code on my Report form's OnCreate event is run. The result is once I
close the error message, my Report form does not open at all

So I guess DBISAM checks things before the form is opened. What is the
theory behind this and is there a way for my Report form to still
open?  Do I need to write code myself to check for all the tables'
existance when my application starts?

Thanks.

Regards,
Pat

That's normal. The components are created before the OnCreate is fired. Make
sure your tables are not active when you compile the program.

Yep, that did the trick
