>Could you make the code for the edbManager compilable again in build14 (see my first post) so I can make my own adjustments?

I can do nothing. I, like yourself, am just a humble user, a bit like TeamB on the CodeGear newsgroups. Tim is the person who will have to alter things.

I've corrected this for the next build, thanks.

<< Also, if I want the edbmngr.ini file to be located in de same path as
exe. Do I have to recompile the manager with a change in getinifilename
function, or is there another way to do this? >>

That's really the only way (recompile).  We don't store the .ini file in the
same path due to the requirements of Vista and above to not write to the
\Program Files directories.

Roy,

<< is pretty deep. >>

It's shallower under Vista and 7:

c:\users\<UserName>\appdata\local

At least they got rid of the spaces.

<< Not only is the location very hard to find sometimes. But I seem to be
unable to write to these locations on some systems. Although I am a domain
administrator on a server, starting the edbmngr it's saying "cannot create
directory" followed by a crash of the edbmngr. I suspect it's due to rights
on this appdata folder. On my Win7 machine I cannot seem to open this path
at all although I am logged in as a user with administrator rights, seems
some kind of setting because some folders have a special folder icon with a
lock on it (probably something with UAC). Even my own user folder is locked.

It sounds like the domain Administrator does not have Administrator rights
on that local computer.  The edbmgr.ini is stored in the local user
application data folder, so it should always be updateable (by default) by
the currently-logged-on user for the local computer.

could be the case. I will ask if they can give me local administrator rights on this server and try again.
