I went through the EDB tutorial in Delphi 7 and it works fine in the IDE. I can open the
sample table and see the first record in the grid within the IDE.

I compiled it and ran it and as soon as it tried to open the form it gave me an exception
"Exception EEDBError in module Project1.exe at 00181905. ElevateDb Error #401 the Database
TutorialDb does not exist".

The EdbEngine1.ConfigPath is set to D:\Data\ElevateDb\Tutorial which is the same as the
EDBManager for this Tutorial database.
I can open the table fine in the IDE but when I run it I get the exception. This has me
stumped.

Any ideas as to what's wrong?

TIA
Brent

Can you post the .pas and .dfm file that you've created ?

Tim,
   Ok. I'm not sure if you wanted me to attach them or just post them. So here is the
post. Strange thing is if I restart Delphi and re-open the project it will say database
does not exist (because I left the table Active in the form when I saved the project). But
if I use the Object Inspector and set the table active again, it opens the table just fine
in the grid without reporting an error. BTW, I'm using ElevateDb version 2 with XP Pro as
Administrator.

You've got the TEDBTable first in the creation order, so it will be created
first before the session and database components are created.  That is what
is causing the error.  If you change the creation order (right-click,
Creation Order on the form or data module), that will fix that issue.
