Hi everyone,

I try to switch between different identical local databases.
To switch I close the query and set the "databasename" property to the name of another
TDBISAMDatabase objects "databasename".
The Directory property of this DB component points to the right path with my tables.

During call to Prepare, the query does not use the path from the DB component but the
local app directory, so does not find the tables and raises an exception.

Why the path of the DB component is ignored?
(The "datadirectory" variable of the query shows the right db name but the path of my
application)

(DBISAM 4.23 Build 2 CS, Delphi 7)

Thanks
Uwe Held

Are you using an explicit TDBISAMSession component ?  If so, then make sure
that your TDBISAMDatabase and TDBISAMQuery components all have their
SessionName property set to the same value as the SessionName property of
the TDBISAMSession component.

Tim,

No - default session (single user local app).

Tim,

sorry - my fault. The given Databasename property meanwhile was invalid...
nonetheless thanks.
